In March 2026, Christian Counselling Centre was awarded a $130,900, Grow Grant over the two years.

Ontario Trillium Foundation.

This funding allows us to grow the “I’ve Got This” program, which was piloted in the summer of 2025. These groups will use games, play and art to help children manage and understand big emotions like anger, sadness, and frustration. Thanks to this program they will be empowered to face through feelings with confidence. Weekly themes include Zone of Regulation, and the Window of Tolerance. Different this year, is that while children are learning about Emotion Regulation, parents will also be in session, whether in person or virtually to learn about what their child is experiencing, and how best to support them through this. 

We are grateful to have received a grant from

The London Community Foundation.

We are grateful to receive grant funding to support our London team in completing accredited online training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Complex Trauma. With local self-harm rates and mental health concerns exceeding provincial averages, this self-paced program equips our staff with advanced, evidence-based tools to support individuals navigating post-traumatic stress and distress. Often, challenges like anxiety, self-harm, or substance use are rooted in underlying trauma that surfaces once safety and trust are established. By completing this specialized training by the end of November, our London team will be better prepared to meet clients where they are and provide compassionate, expert care directly within the community.

CCC has been awarded a $19,800 Seed grant from

Ontario Trillium Foundation.

This funding allows us to offer two new services specifically for the Halton region: first an art group therapy program where children and youth can learn emotional regulation and find their voice through creativity; and second, specialized classroom presentations where art helps students learn the principles of emotional regulation in their classroom setting. While we offer supports throughout Ontario, this specific funding is dedicated to the Halton community. We are excited for the opportunity to launch this new service model and look forward to how it can potentially grow into other areas in the future.

We are grateful to have received a grant from

The London Community Foundation.

This funding has allowed us to invest in specialized therapeutic tools, sensory objects, and interactive resources for our work in London. For many young people, sitting and talking can feel intimidating; these tactile tools provide a safe, approachable way for them to express complex feelings and practice the emotional regulation skills we discuss in sessions. By using structured worksheets, board games, and sensory items, we create a practical environment where youth can visualize their growth and develop new coping strategies with confidence.
