Woodview Mental Health and Autism Services

About Us

Woodview Mental Health and Autism Services has been strengthening lives and inspiring hope since 1960.  We go above and beyond to support children, youth, and adults facing mental health challenges and/or living with autism and hold them and their families at the centre of all we do.  We treat everyone with dignity and respect and we embrace diversity.  This is reflected in how everyone feels welcomed and listened to at Woodview.  We work hard to remove barriers so that everyone can engage in services and we encourage, support and invest in community partnerships to enhance our services.  We respond to community needs by providing high quality mental health and autism services that build on strengths and focus on skill-building, coping strategies, relationships, independence, and resilience.

Woodview in the Square 

Woodview in the Square, a youth hub in downtown Brantford at Harmony Square, was co-developed with youth and community partners to create a space for youth offering the right service, at the right time, in the right place.  At this location we offer mental health services and supports to youth ages 12-25, and thanks to our community partners we offer multiple integrated services all under one roof!  Learn about how the program start:  https://woodview.ca/bringing-woodview-in-the-square-online/
