Your giving matters. Hear from some of our clients:

Without judgement

“The one-on-one counselling was extremely helpful. My counsellor was attentive and open to hear my issues without judgement and provided very good options for me to consider. The group counselling was helpful in learning about what I am going through.”
Sarah

Helpful

“The information about coping skills and how to communicate with our family members was especially helpful. The self-care part was excellent as well. I particularly appreciated the one-on-one counselling sessions. My counsellor’s advice was spot-on and helped me to alleviate my anxiety and deal effectively with my situation.”
Aaron

Supportive

“The counsellors are very supportive and helpful. The knowledge that they share is extremely important. As well, I believe our determination is strengthened with their guidance.”
Monique

A safe space

“You can’t heal if you don’t have a safe space to do it from. That space is Rideauwood.”
Andrei

They've helped us.

“My son is addicted to video games. Always in his room on his game. I took his computer away once and he actually threw punches at me. My wife and I decided to try Rideauwood. They’ve helped us which means they’ve helped him too.
