We extend a range of subsidized or donated social services, including mental health counselling, to those who were suffering during and post-pandemic.
Healing Wings Charitable Organization was founded in 2020, during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, by a group of compassionate community leaders, professionals, and entrepreneurs in the Greater Toronto Area. The need was clear: individuals and families in Canada’s remote and Arctic communities were facing immense mental health struggles, made worse by isolation, lack of services, and limited internet access. We felt called to act.
What began as a small, volunteer-driven effort quickly expanded to reach others in similar distress such as First Nations communities, at-risk youth, and men and women in uniform, including first responders and veterans. Between 2020 and 2021, our team delivered vital mental health support, often funded personally by the founders of doctors, lawyers, and business owners who gave generously to meet the need.
In June 2022, Healing Wings officially became a CRA Registered Charity, enabling us to expand our reach and sustain our mission long-term.

At Healing Wings, we believe that everyone deserves compassionate, professional mental health support, no matter their financial circumstances. That’s why one of our core pillars is to create walk-in counselling centres where individuals and families can receive timely, stigma-free care from registered psychotherapists. Our goal is to make therapy both affordable and accessible, removing barriers that often prevent people from getting the help they need. By offering immediate support, sliding-scale fees, and culturally sensitive care, we empower our community to take the first step toward healing, resilience, and lasting emotional well-being.
At Healing Wings Charitable Organization, we are committed to uplifting lives and restoring hope through five core pillars of service:
Our overarching mission is rooted in compassion and dignity: to improve the quality of life for vulnerable populations by delivering accessible, high-quality mental health care and essential supports across Canada. By integrating professional partnerships and culturally sensitive care, we aim to bridge the gap between need and access restoring connection, stability, and well-being where it’s needed most.
We welcome all forms of contributions from you to support our organization.
Below are some of the examples with our ongoing initiatives:
We plan to offer subsidized accommodation to uniformed heroes (military, paramedics, police officers, fire-fighters, and other first-responders) and their families while they receive medical treatment. This is a project that will be implemented in the coming years as we are awaiting the building of the facility in New Market in collaboration with the Trinity Coptic Foundation.
We intend to expand our social services to offer family and marriage counselling, pro-bono legal assistance and vocational training in the future as we grow and expand our projects and reach.
Since Healing Wings’ inception in 2020, we have launched multiple programs of providing connectivity and goods to shelters. While doing so, we obtained support from community partners who helped Healing Wings obtain official registered charity status by the Canada Revenue Agency.
