MiND-AID is a needs-based, client-centered, cost-free local service, providing navigation assistance and support to young persons, who are looking for help on their journey to mental wellness. MiND-AID is a registered Charity and as such is funded by donations, grants and funding from several sources. We launched in the fall of 2020 thanks in part to Government of Canada's Emergency Community Support Fund, through the Muskoka Community Foundation and the United Way Simcoe Muskoka, and because of the support of Muskoka Victim Services.

Young people face several barriers when trying to access the help they need. Many only get care through a hospital E.R. once they reach a crisis point. Tragically, some young people never access the supports they require.

MiND-AID will serve residents of Muskoka, who are under 30 years of age.  Parents and guardians will be served in getting help for children under their care as well.  You do not need a referral to contact MiND-AID or a diagnosis, you only need a desire to feel better.  

Send us an email or give us a call at 844.646.MINDAID (3243).  We will get back to you within three business days.

MiND-AID is designed to meet the needs of individual users from throughout the District of Muskoka.  Our Navigators can meet with young people in a public area or a professional office setting, over the internet via video chat, over the phone, through text or via email, depending on the preference.  We are flexible and mobile.
