Self-Help Centres and Groups in Ontario

The Ontario Self-Help Network maintains links with affiliate centres around Ontario that provide information and referral as well as support to self-help initiatives in their communities. Following is a list of our current Affiliates.

If none of these centres are close to your community, scroll down further and you will find links to Other Regional Listings of Groups that include local self-help groups. If all else fails, contact our provincial program office directly and we will do our best to assist you. Email outreach@selfhelp.on.ca or call 1-888-283-8806.
