Hard Feelings Toronto

Hard Feelings is an innovative non-profit mental health organization, based in Toronto. NOTE: This page is not activly monitored.

Please visit our website and send an email if you need to get in touch. Hard Feelings was founded by Kate Scowen, a social worker, counsellor and writer who believes that strong mental health is rooted in self-understanding and connection. In her work, she found that many people were unable to find affordable mental health supports. She envisioned a storefront where people could come together to find resources that support strong mental health and have access to affordable on-site counselling.

What do you feel? What do you need? 🤷
These are questions that are often hard to answer. Sometimes you may feel sad and need to dance, sometimes you may feel sad and need to sob. Identifying feelings and needs may become confusing, uncertain, and tough.

Join us for a free in-person workshop where we will explore feelings and needs, make flipbooks, learn from each other, and get help navigating the mental health care system.

Participation is limited to 12. Registration required to secure your spot. Please register via the link in bio.

Please note that this is not clinical psychotherapy, nor is it a crisis support space. We recognize big feelings may arise, our goal is to be able to support and witness them together.

When care and insight come together, change happens. 💙

This year's Social Work Week theme is: Care. Insight. Together.

At Hard Feelings, these are values that shape every program, every decision, and every expansion we make. Insight from our community is what drives us to keep innovating and reducing barriers to care.

To every social worker in our community, thank you. The work you do and the care you bring are at the heart of why we do what we do. 🌟

And, we're not done listening and gathering insights. This spring, we're launching our annual community survey — your chance to take the mic and tell us what's needed, what's missing, and to share with us what you would like to see for in our city. Keep your eyes peeled! 👀
