Community-based care reaching people before their breaking point

United Way East Ontario helped lay the foundation for the Community Development Framework which equips resident leaders to offer mental health resources to vulnerable Ottawa residents before they face a crisis.

United Way East Ontario invests to counter rise in hate and poor mental health

We know the horrific violence we are seeing in Gaza and Israel is causing immense pain, anger, and sorrow here locally. These emotions are powerful, and lead to the compassion and empathy we hold for others both near and far. At the same time, many people across East Ontario have been experiencing violence and hateful rhetoric as a result of these emotions spilling over in harmful ways.
