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. Peer Support Facilitators are trained to listen and offer emotional support. They can also 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

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 award several deserving families with gift cards, groceries, gas cards, mental wellness and family activity packages throughout the year. 

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.

Contact us today at 905-598-1929 or info@caremasters.ca to donate or request support.
