Since 1957, Forward House has been helping adults who have experienced or are experiencing serious mental health difficulties. Our programs, support services, and transitional housing afford these individuals the opportunity to learn how to cope with stressful situations and how to manage their lives more effectively and independently within the larger community.

COMMUNITY CENTRE

The community center on Girouard Avenue is much more than a gathering space: it boasts classrooms, computers, a workshop, a communal kitchen, a workout space, and Forward House’s administrative offices. Through the center, we provide support services via two programs:

​

  • Day Educational Program (registration required) :  offering courses, activities, and organized outings Monday to Friday.
     

  • Vocational Support Services :  implementation of PAAS-Action program with a diversity of partnerships in the community.

RESIDENTIAL SERVICES AND MIR Plus

To help individuals regain their autonomy, Forward House Residential Services operate three coeducational group homes for a total of 22 adults and the MIR Plus group home for 11 adults.

​

Each of these shared living environments provides different levels of support and on-site staff supervision based on the needs of the residents. All four homes share the same goal: to help each individual gradually regain the life skills and coping abilities needed to live autonomously in the wider community.

“Sometimes the people around you won’t understand your journey. They don’t need to, it’s not for them.”
