Community Partnerships
Elpizo partners with nonprofit and charitable organizations that want to offer mental-health education, facilitated support or practical learning to the communities they serve.
Depending on the partnership, Elpizo may provide a one-time workshop, a facilitated support group, a psychoeducational series or a customized community program. The service model, facilitator qualifications, eligibility, confidentiality expectations and registration process are agreed upon before the program begins.
We continue to support community organizations, including Stevens-Johnson Syndrome Canada, through no-cost support groups for eligible members. We also work with other nonprofit organizations to provide workshops and support programming tailored to the needs of their communities.
Our Community Impact Over Time
Elpizo’s community involvement has grown alongside the practice. Before the COVID-19 pandemic, Elpizo provided life-skills psychoeducation at Maplehurst Correctional Complex in Milton. Over the years, we have also provided no-cost support groups, both in person and virtually, and mental-health education for a range of communities and nonprofit organizations.
These experiences continue to shape our commitment to making mental-health conversations more accessible, culturally responsive and relevant to the communities we serve.
Student Therapists & Community Impact
Student Therapists are an important part of Elpizo’s learning environment and may support selected community initiatives when the activity is appropriate to their education, training, competence and supervision arrangements.
If you are looking for reduced-fee or sliding-scale individual counselling, those services are available exclusively through Elpizo’s Student Therapist Clinic.
Current & Upcoming Community Programs
Only active programs, confirmed upcoming cohorts or current waitlists should appear in this section. Expired programs should be removed from the live page or archived outside the main registration pathway.
Coming September 2026
New community programming is being developed for September 2026. Details, eligibility, dates, format and registration information will be posted once confirmed.
A Note About Community Programs & Crisis Support
Community workshops, psychoeducational programs and support groups are not substitutes for emergency or crisis services. Unless a program is specifically identified as group psychotherapy, participation does not create an individual psychotherapy relationship with Elpizo.
If you need immediate or urgent support, please use the emergency and crisis resources listed on Elpizo’s website rather than a community-program registration form, email address or waitlist.
