Family Service Toronto (FST) helps people face a wide variety of life challenges. For over
100 years, we have worked with individuals and families destabilized by precarious mental
health and/or socioeconomic circumstances to achieve greater resilience and stability in
more just and supportive communities. We achieve this through our direct service work of
intervention and prevention which includes counselling, peer support and education;
knowledge building; and system-level work, including social action, advocacy, community
building and working with partners to strengthen the sector.

Healthy Families Healthy Communities (HFHC) is a community engagement program for
newcomer women, seniors, and youth. The program activities support the Afghan, Iranian,
Nigerian, Latino-Hispanic, Somali, and Arabic-speaking communities. Peer support groups,
educational workshops, and community events are delivered to seniors, women, and youth
from these communities in their first language and facilitated by staff with lived experiences.
