Queer Services
Thanks to support from the Ontario Trillium Foundation, CCRC has introduced a Queer Services Program and hired a Queer Services Counsellor to support individuals of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community within Nogojiwanong/Peterborough County.
The program provides affirming housing help and counselling supports at no cost.
Services are available on a drop-in basis every Tuesday from 9:00am-11:30am and 1:00pm-3:00pm. Services are also available by appointment.
You are not required to self-identify to reception, just ask for Quin. Please feel free to contact our Queer Services Counsellor for more information.

Our hope is to help people access the care they deserve, in a way that feels safe, accessible, and affirming. We aim to provide person-centered and compassionate services in order to help folks achieve their needs and goals. Services are provided by a worker who identifies as a member of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community.
