Thursdays 4:00 to 6:00 PM

In Person at Stella’s Place — 54 Wolseley St. Toronto ON M5T1A5

Mosaic is a community-driven, mental health-focused drop-in space created by BIPOC (Black, Indigenous & People of Colour) for BIPOC. Built on the idea of solidarity across BIPOC communities, Mosaic is a space that promotes connection through conversation and collective knowledge building.

Mosaic creates space for BIPOC youth, ages 16-29, to come together to discuss their collective experiences. This bi-weekly group will feature  themes  ranging from self discovery and identity, to first generation family dynamics. Weekly sessions will consist of group discussions, creative activities, and community building exercises.

Mosaic thrives on the wisdom gained from individuals’ lived experience; prior knowledge of weekly themes is not required or expected.

This group is facilitated by Peer Ambassadors at the Stella’s Place office located at 54 Wolseley St, Toronto, ON M5T 1A5
