Frequently Asked Questions
What is CARE?
The CARE (Connection, Acceptance, Resource, Empowerment) Program is funded by the Region of Peel. This initiative recognizes that access to mental health services should never be limited by financial circumstances. Through this program, Ontario Works clients, ODSP recipients, and Peel residents facing financial hardship can access professional counselling support when they need it.
Is this really completely free?
Yes, absolutely. The Peel CARE grant covers all session costs for eligible clients. You won’t pay anything for your counselling sessions.
How many sessions can I receive?
The number of sessions depends on your needs and the grant allocation. Your therapist will discuss your specific situation and session availability with you.
Do I need to provide proof of OW or ODSP?
We’ll discuss your situation during the intake process. Having your documentation ready can help speed up the qualification process, but don’t let paperwork delay booking your first call.
How quickly can I start?
Most new clients can begin sessions within one week of their initial contact. We prioritize getting you the support you need as soon as possible.
