DTES

Here is the idea of the initiative I started and worked at for the employees of organizations on Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside (DTES):

Having spent two years volunteering in the area, I was able to see many types of jobs being done at a few different locations in the community. What I did was create a community collaborative where staff from the DTES organizations came and received affordable counselling/therapy services.

If you work on the DTES, then you know how much energy and caring support you give on a daily basis! I hope you are currently receiving the support you deserve as you serve those with multiple barriers. 

I am no longer living in the Lower Mainland area, nor am I taking new client. However! If you are a staff member or volunteer of an organization on the DTES or anywhere in the world that does similar work, please reach out to me via my email: leanne@ldcounselling.ca . I am happy to still support you in finding the care you need.
