The Gordonridge Social Resource Centre
The Gordonridge Social Resource Centre is a community based program that facilitates the recovery of consumers who have serious and persistent
mental illness living in Toronto, North York, Etobicoke and Scarborough by providing opportunities for peer support, skills development and leadership.
The Gordonridge Social Resource Centre offers an inclusive and supportive environment, allowing consumers to build new relationships and mutual
experiences with others, to promote a sense of belonging. Through workshops and activities, which are facilitated by professionals and peers,
consumers learn new skills to live healthier lifestyles and participate in social, cultural and recreational experiences.
