The Town of Grimsby’s decision to bring a walk-in clinic to the youth of our community is an example of what can be done when passionate and motivated groups collaborate to reach a common goal. The walk-in clinic is another “box checked off” for the GBF as it continues to deploy its resources, and have a positive impact on the mental health of our community. We acknowledged the need to get further into communities across our region and this is the most effective way to do it. Offering immediate mental health counselling which we know is essential, means kids are heard as soon as they seek support without delay. Town and city councils are walking with us shoulder to shoulder on this effort and as a result, we have been able to establish seven Hear & Now Walk-In Clinic sites across Niagara. Pathstone’s Hear & Now Walk-In Clinic is open five days per week at the Branscombe Mental Health Centre in St. Catharines and one day each week in Grimsby, Beamsville, Niagara Falls, Niagara-on-the-Lake, Port Colborne, Welland and Fort Erie.

Indigenous traditional teachings speak of respect, friendship, interconnectedness and having a Good Mind.

We will put our Good Minds together to service our next 7 Generations. The Fowler Family Foundation has been privileged to be a supporter of Pathstone’s work over the past several years.
