Peer Support
Across Boundaries provides a safe, non-judgemental space where clients can access and practice their leadership skills by volunteering to facilitate the discussion. Participants share experiences, give feedback and provide support to each other. Support members exchange stories of coping whether it is related to issues of mental health or racialization. The true value of this group is in the sharing, discovery and understanding that there are ways to overcome adversity.

Men’s Group
In this group, 8-12 men are led by a male therapist. The facilitator encourages discussion of barriers in the health care system and strategies to overcome them.  Sexism and other individual and systemic issues that impact their mental health are discussed.

Women’s Group
Women in the group share their experiences, gain support and learn effective coping skills from each other and strategize on how to overcome barriers in the health system.
