Hi！

For A Safer Space is one and only Canadian non-profit organization dedicating to provide accessible, affordable, and affirming mental health care and human rights related advocacy support. We are currently operating out of Toronto, Ontario.

We provide a free listing platform for licenced mental health professionals that belong to traditionally marginalized groups, offer online mental health programming, and hold systems navigation support events on topics relevant to our community members. ​
