TURNING CORNERS 

Turning Corners provides a space for human beings to be human beings. We help young people to seniors overcome barriers to mental health support and we hold their hands and lift the load together. We have carried our own baggage which made our resilience and empathy muscles stronger. Our support package includes case advocacy, mentoring, creative outlets, to food that fortifies individuals.
