We Believe

Supporting men and boys who experience trauma due to life challenges creates safer, more caring and prosperous communities. Men, women, boys and girls equally need opportunities, support, encouragement and positive messaging in order to succeed; and when they do, we all win. Everyone regardless of gender, race, sexual orientation, ethnicity, religion and nationality deserves to feel safe, respected, fulfilled, treated equally by the legal system and reach his/her full potential.

TESTIMONIALS

“CCMF-York has been an absolute life saver. Finally, to have found a guiding light in a dismal, seemingly endless tunnel of dark turmoil. Thank you to all staff and volunteers. I would be in a much worse spot and condition without your help and compassion.”

“The value to self-esteem, men supporting men, can’t be understated. CCMF-York provides a great platform to achieve this.”

“This is the only service I saw in my life which helps and supports men for recovery. Thank you so much for your brilliant service and help.”

“The support from CCMF-York was of great relief to me at a time when isolation during COVID19 lockdowns and emotional issues with family was affecting my mental health severely. I was experiencing insomnia and anxiety but my therapist suggested activities and supported me to feel better.”

 

“I was in a negative situation with my spouse and I had nowhere to turn. I was fortunate in my research online and I found the center of men and families and only they were able to help me in my time of need. Several other local help agencies were not there for me. I am thankful that I reached out to the men’s center.”
