AIMS: Archangel Michael Initiative for Mental Health Support
Cost shouldn't keep anyone from getting the help they need.
Cornerstone provides the care. AIMS helps cover the cost.
Through this partnership, people across Ontario can see one of our Registered Psychotherapists and pay a fee that fits their income, with AIMS helping to cover the cost. This means more individuals, couples and families can get care when they need it.
AIMS (formerly ACME Wellness) is a program of Anba Abraam Charity.
Getting Support Through AIMS
AIMS supports people living in Ontario who need help with the cost of counselling, and it is open to people of all backgrounds and faiths.
Your fee is based on your household income and household size, and AIMS helps cover the cost of your sessions. Support is available for individual, couples and family counselling with one of our Registered Psychotherapists.
When you book, our intake team will look at all of your options with you, including our other affordable therapy options, and send the request to AIMS for you. AIMS usually replies within 5 business days, and we’ll call you as soon as we hear back.
AIMS funding helps many people, so it can’t always cover every request. If that happens, we’ll work with you to find another way forward.
Our Work Together
01.
Affordable therapy
We match individuals, couples and families with our Registered Psychotherapists, and AIMS helps keep sessions affordable.
02.
Mental health education
Together we offer workshops on topics like stress, trauma and relationships, led by licensed professionals.
03.
Faith community and youth outreach
We bring mental health awareness to churches, schools and youth programs, and support parents, educators and faith leaders.
Why This Partnership Matters
Cost, stigma and finding a therapist who understands your faith and culture can all make it harder to get help. Working with AIMS gives more people a way in, so no one has to face these challenges alone.
