Counselling for Seniors and Caregivers
Growing older isn't always easy. It can bring new challenges, such as the devastating loss of a partner or close friend, a feeling of financial insecurity and physical changes. If you are concerned for yourself or someone you care about, we can help.
Family Service Toronto's highly trained and experienced counsellors make it easy for you to access our services. You can come to our office for individual or group meetings, talk to a trained counsellor by telephone or, in exceptional circumstances, arrange for a home/community visit. Services can be provided in English and Spanish.
