1 in 3 women experience gender-based violence in their lifetime.

This International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, the theme is on violence in digital spaces. With the rise of AI technology, the rapid spread of content, and the increase of digital social spaces, digital violence and abuse against women often occur in these spaces. We encourage you to stand up, report, and create safer spaces for everyone. If you see something, say something.

If you need to talk to someone regarding what you or a loved one has experienced online or offline, we are here to help. Call our tandem intake line at 519-433-0334 so we can support you.

November 20 marks Transgender Day of Remembrance. Today, we remember trans lives that were lost to violence or through acts of harassment in their communities.

At Vanier, we know the reality is that trans youth have a much higher risk of experiencing mental health issues. We are here to support children and youth through their mental health journey every step of the way. 💚

Did you know we have Talk-In Clinics?

A Talk-In Clinic is walk-in counselling for children, youth, and their families from 0-18 years of age. Every Wednesday from 2-6 PM (please arrive by 4:30 PM) at Vanier Children's Mental Wellness, 871 Trafalgar Street, London, Ontario.

A Talk-In is a 1-1.5 hour therapy session with a Child and Family Therapist who will help you to explore the issue that you want to discuss, strategies that might be helpful in managing it, and identify next steps that might be helpful.

We are here to listen and help you take the next steps together!
