About Us
What we're all about.
True Experience is a registered charitable, non-profit organization dedicated to empowering adults living with mental health challenges. At the heart of our approach is a commitment to individual rights, dignity, and autonomy. We work collaboratively alongside each person, recognizing that abilities and needs can change from day to day. Just because an individual can manage tasks or responsibilities today does not mean they will be able to tomorrow, and our programs are designed to provide flexible, responsive support that respects these variations.
Our holistic, person-centred care approach includes Therapeutic Supportive Housing, a Community Work Program, Outreach Coordination, and Social Recreation, all structured to support individuals in achieving their goals, enhancing their quality of life, and fostering independence within a safe and empowering environment.
