Partner with Us
A central priority of Red Spruce Mental Health Centre is accessible counselling services. We recognize this requires more than a singular location. Part of our model is to partner with existing community organizations and embed counselling by Red Spruce interns where other services are offered, particularly to underserved groups.
Red Spruce will continue to expand into additional community partner sites as appropriate partners are identified, and the Centre is equipped to expand. If you belong to an organization that you believe would make an excellent satellite site and are interested in partnering with us, please get in touch with us!
We are grateful to be currently operating alongside these partner programs:
The Red Door – Youth Health and Support Centre

The Portal Youth Outreach Association
