SUPPORT SERVICES

​We aim to deliver quality individualized mental health support that is trauma-informed, anti-oppressive and culturally responsive. Our services are designed to address the mental wellness issues that face African/Caribbean/Black women and families in the GTA. 

Sisters Circle 

Sisters Circle is a support group designed by and for African/Caribbean/Black women to share, empower and encourage one another to overcome stress, racism, trauma, abuse, addiction and mental illness. The Sisters Circle offers women participation in meaningful discussions, creative arts, and capacity building activities with a focus on topics and issues that are relevant to their lives.

Because this is a safe, therapeutic and intimate environment spaces are limited and cannot be reserved without payment. However, if you are experiencing financial hardship and would like to attend, please contact us at info@caremasters.ca to register.

Peer Support

Peer Support is a one-to-one supportive relationship between a client and a Peer Support Facilitator. While we are not therapists, a Peer Support Facilitator combines lived experience with a career in mental health support.

​A Peer Support Facilitator offers a safe, non-judgmental space to share and discuss issues impacting your mental wellness. They can provide valuable resources, self-care strategies and referrals to registered mental health services in the community. 

We offer peer counselling services by Zoom, phone and text/messenger for your safety and convenience.  ​

Contact us today at 905-598-1929 or peersupport@caremasters.ca to book an appointment. 

Single Parent Support Kits

In addition to our regular services, this year we are dedicating support to single parents. We recognize that being a sole provider is a daily challenge, and with the added stressors related to Covid-19, many single parent families are experiencing emotional and financial hardships. In honour of the many single parents we serve, we will select several deserving families to surprise with gift cards, swag bags, mental wellness packages, family excursions and complimentary child care throughout the year. Follow us on Instagram @caremasterscanada for the latest contest details. 

We invite you to support this initiative with a monetary, product or service donation. All contributions go directly to single parent households in our community. One small, caring gesture can create a moment that impacts someone's life immensely. Let's make some moments together.​ ​

Contact us today at 905-598-1929 or info@caremasters.ca to donate or to nominate a single parent.
