As a result of the pandemic, the Elizabeth Fry Society of Peterborough has experienced an increased demand for services and mental health supports. Our service users have an increasing complexity and diversity of needs that are significantly impacted by the many inter-connected challenges our community is facing, including access to low-cost and low-barrier supports, social isolation, and financial insecurity.
In 2023 we were the grateful recipients of a Resilient Communities Fund through the Ontario Trillium Foundation which has allowed our Community Programs to implement a case management approach, and hire additional staff. This grant has allowed up to continue to build the capacity of the agency and ensure the well-being of our service users.
