"My daughter and I both received therapy at Family Plus. As a single Mom, having the subsidized sessions was vital to our mental health. At that time in my life I could not afford much and our mental health would have gone uncared for. Our counsellors at Family Plus truly cared about our well being and mental health. I did not feel judged and felt like I had a really safe place to talk about anything. I gained self confidence and the ability to take control of my life.”
