As the month of Ramadan comes to a close, we extend our warmest wishes to everyone in our community celebrating Eid al-Fitr.

Eid is a time of reflection, generosity, and coming together with family and community. We are grateful to work alongside many Muslim clients, staff, and neighbours who enrich our community every day.

May this Eid bring peace, joy, and connection to all who are celebrating.

Eid Mubarak.

Black Mental Health Week is an important opportunity to recognize both the strength and the unique challenges within Black communities — and to reaffirm our commitment to equitable, culturally responsive care.

Across Canada, Black individuals and families continue to face barriers to accessing mental health and addiction services, including stigma, systemic racism, and a lack of culturally relevant supports. These barriers are real — and they impact wellbeing.

At Porchlight Counselling and Addiction Services, we believe mental health care must be accessible, inclusive, and grounded in respect. We are committed to listening, learning, and strengthening our services so that Black clients feel seen, heard, and supported.

Mental health is health. And everyone deserves care that honours their lived experience.

If you or someone you love is looking for support, we’re here to help.

Health, policy, research, and community partners across Canada - we need your input!

The housing crisis is making recovery harder, especially for people transitioning from treatment to stable housing. When safe, community-based recovery housing isn’t available, healing stalls and inequities grow.

Porchlight Counselling & Addiction Services is responding through Building for Recovery, supported by the CMHC National Housing Strategy Solution Lab.

Together, we’re co‑designing a village‑style recovery housing model on 10 rural acres in Cambridge, Ontario—rooted in dignity, belonging, housing‑first principles, and connection to land and community.

Join our National Building for Recovery Solutions Lab Webinar on February 12th from 10am-11am EST to help shape this model. We’ll share emerging prototypes and invite your feedback to finalize them.

This is an open invitation, so please share widely. Meeting link is in the comments.
