  • It's @cmhanational Mental Health Week 2026 (May 4–10) and the theme this year is Come Together, and that's something we live every day at Street Haven. 

For women navigating trauma, mental health challenges, or substance use, connection isn't a nice-to-have. It's essential. Our mental health services offer trauma-informed therapy, harm reduction support, and a whole-person approach, because every woman deserves to be met where she is, without judgment. 

This week, we’re reminded that small acts of coming together make a real difference. Check in on someone. Start a conversation. Show up.

This is a rare opportunity for our community and neighbours to step inside 87 Pembroke Street, Toronto's first emergency women's shelter and a hidden gem of the Garden District. For over 60 years, this heritage home has provided care, dignity and community to women in crisis, and we can't wait to share that story with you. 

Come explore the history, the advocacy, and the beautiful original architecture that makes this place so special, from the staircases and room layout to the former carriageway now used as a rear entrance. Whether you love heritage buildings, Toronto history, or women's advocacy, this one's for you. 

No registration is needed! 

Guided tours run Saturday & Sunday at: 
🕚 11:00 am | 11:30 am | 1:00 pm | 2:00 pm | 3:00 pm

  • Harm reduction saves lives, and Akosua is making sure Toronto knows it. 

Akosua is our Housing Case Manager and a Harm Reduction advocate, and lately, she's been everywhere. From the @hac_toronto to the @hivlegalnetwork & Drug Strategy Network of Ontario's press conferences, and even on the @jim_richards_showgram . She's been having important conversations and making sure harm reduction stays at the top of the agenda. 

All our staff are trained in harm reduction with the guiding principles of non-judgement, safer supply and use, respect and dignity, autonomy and choice, and what sets us apart from others- ‘we meet women where they’re at’. That’s the Street Haven way. 

We are so proud of Akosua and grateful for her advocacy.
