Overview
The Jean Tweed Centre delivers housing, treatment, and support services for women, children, and families dealing with substance use, mental health challenges, trauma, and related issues across seven live-in and transitional sites in Toronto and the GTA. Its continuum of care runs from intake and assessment to residential or outpatient treatment, continuing care, and aftercare, complemented by an on-site child development centre and parenting workshops for parents. What sets it apart is its long-running, multi-site approach that combines housing, treatment, child development, and parenting support into integrated wraparound services since 1983, with a strong emphasis on accessibility and inclusivity. The center’s goal is to lift women up, offer second chances, and create lasting hope, healing, and positive change for clients and their wider communities.
