Help Sustain The Circle for Change: A Place to Heal & Belong

A Place to Heal, A Community to Belong
Right now, too many people in crisis are falling through the cracks—with nowhere safe to go, no one to support them, and no way to begin healing. The Circle for Change Initiative is building a land-based sanctuary where healing, dignity, and community come first.
Who We Are:
We are a grassroots collective creating spaces where healing is possible for those navigating trauma, neurodivergence, or sudden life transitions. The Circle for Change Initiative offers a regenerative community rooted in land, empathy, and collective care.
We’re raising funds to build transitional housing, host wellness events, offer trauma-informed mentorship, and provide crisis support—all on a land-based site that centers dignity, safety, and belonging.
Why Now?
Across Canada, individuals are falling through the cracks:
- Youth aging out of care without support
- People exiting institutions or violence with no place to go
- Neurodivergent adults with no safe space to decompress
- Caregivers in crisis with no communal tools for rest or recovery
We are creating an alternative—where care is a shared resource and healing is not a privilege, but a right.
