Registered Programming

Intake required
Due to current wait times, participants who submit the intake request form today can expect to begin registered programming in 1.5 to 3 years.

Short Term Individual Counselling

Waitlist is open. Participants will meet with the same clinician for 6 consecutive sessions that take place every 1 to 2 weeks. Sessions are 50 minutes long.

The short term individual counselling approach at Stella’s Place is integrative, drawing primarily from Focused Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (FACT). FACT is a brief version of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and is an effective treatment for many mental health challenges. In a FACT approach, participants are viewed as “stuck, not broken” and treatment targets one primary issue, which is collaboratively selected by participant and clinician. Clinicians introduce experiential interventions during sessions to increase participant awareness, skillfulness, and encourage application beyond sessions. FACT supports individuals in taking values-based actions while coping flexibly and effectively with difficult challenges, thoughts, memories, and emotions.

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

“Stella’s Place means community. It’s not the place that makes it so wonderful, it’s the group of people in it that makes it such a safe haven.”

 

-Stella’s Place Community Member

“Before coming to Stella’s Place, I guess I was lost, and felt a bit lonely. I felt like a crisis was about to happen and I needed to take some preventive action. I was able to choose several options in one place: the job connection program, figure out my financial situation, participate in WRAP with a peer supporter, and one-on-one counselling.”
