Scarborough Family Support Groups

Caregivers often need knowledge, perspective

and support when relating to a relative

who is affected by mental health issues.

There are two groups each month in Scarborough:

'2nd Tuesday' each month - Neilson & Ellesmere Rds.

'Last Thursday' - near Birchmount Rd. and Finch Ave.

You could attend either or both groups.

You also have the option of making a confidential
