ABOUT PATHWAYS TO HOPE

Turning hope into reality

Our Brantford autism clinic was established in 2022 and is an extension of Brant Mental Health Solution’s team.  We offer specific services for those living with Autism and other behavioral-related conditions.  

We also aim to support their families so that they can better understand and care for their loved ones at home.  Our team offers various services and groups that can help people with ASD find support and solutions to their everyday challenges.

​We recently moved our chiropractor and physiotherapist into the space too so that we could  provide all of our healthcare services under one roof!

​Contact us today to speak with our client care coordinator to see how we can help.

Our Story

Ever since we opened Brant Mental Health Solutions, it was a dream of mine to incorporate education and other support for children and adults with learning or developmental concerns.

As we have grown over the years, I have seen in our community that there is a lack of access to specific autism care/supports. After seeing friends and family members struggle with finding care for themselves or their child(ren) with ASD, I wanted to be able to create a centre in my community that could fill the gap.

The team we have created at Brant Mental Health Solutions is fantastic, but we don’t have many team members with specific training in ASD. This made me determined to assemble a team that can specifically cater to the unique needs and challenges of each client with autism.

When we were looking at the new location for Brant Mental Health Solutions, the lower unit was also empty and I believed that was my sign that now was the time to bring these services to Brantford/Brant County and the surrounding areas.

I am dedicated to hiring the best professionals in the industry, I am committed to providing the team with ongoing training in the field of autism, and I am passionate about working with each family/individual to help direct them to the services they need. Navigating the autism and mental health field is daunting, time consuming, expensive and stressful, which I know first hand. I aim to create a place where we can guide you and take some of the stress off the family/individuals’ shoulders, even if you don’t access care with us – we are a resource!
