Hard Feelings Toronto

Hard Feelings is an innovative non-profit mental health organization, based in Toronto. NOTE: This page is not activly monitored.

Please visit our website and send an email if you need to get in touch. Hard Feelings was founded by Kate Scowen, a social worker, counsellor and writer who believes that strong mental health is rooted in self-understanding and connection. In her work, she found that many people were unable to find affordable mental health supports. She envisioned a storefront where people could come together to find resources that support strong mental health and have access to affordable on-site counselling.

When care and insight come together, change happens. 💙

This year's Social Work Week theme is: Care. Insight. Together.

At Hard Feelings, these are values that shape every program, every decision, and every expansion we make. Insight from our community is what drives us to keep innovating and reducing barriers to care.

To every social worker in our community, thank you. The work you do and the care you bring are at the heart of why we do what we do. 🌟

And, we're not done listening and gathering insights. This spring, we're launching our annual community survey — your chance to take the mic and tell us what's needed, what's missing, and to share with us what you would like to see for in our city. Keep your eyes peeled! 👀
