Offered by Family Transition Place, Women Changing Paths is a program designed to compassionately help women whose lives have been affected by ongoing use of substances. Originally funded for women who are pregnant or who have children, the program has evolved to support any woman in lessening the consequences of substance use – through counselling.
Counselling in the program is client-centered and non-judgmental.
We are concerned that pregnant women or mothers may not seek help because they feel they might be scrutinized and labelled as a ‘bad parent’. We want to help. We do not, and will not judge. We want only to provide support.
Counselling is available throughout Bolton, Caledon, Orangeville and Dufferin County. Counsellors will meet you at a location that is most convenient, safe, and comfortable for you.
Collaborative services are provided between different community organizations (i.e., nurse practitioners, Ontario Telemedicine Network (OTN), etc.) to help you reach your goals.
For compassionate, non-judgemental counselling and support, please call 519-942-4122. We want to be there to help in a non-judgmental, supportive way.
