The goal of the Krasman Centre is to serve as a physical hub for the community of Psychiatric Survivors and their Families and Friends throughout York Region. The Krasman Centre is a unique organization created by Psychiatric consumer/survivors and family members in York Region and is funded by the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care. Governed by a volunteer board composed of consumer/survivors and family members it has provided an opportunity for various sectors to join forces for mutual support.

What do we do?

We are a psychiatric consumer/survivor drop-in resource centre in Richmond Hill. Our centre serves all of York Region and offers several services and programs including:

• Peer based programs
