Hours and Directions
Aurora office reception

When you arrive, you’ll be welcomed by a peer support worker or another staff member. You’ll sign in with your name and reason for visiting – it only takes a moment. If it’s your first time, someone will sit with you to complete a brief intake form and get you officially connected to the program.

Aurora location lounge

From there, you’re welcome to find a seat, grab a coffee, tea, or hot chocolate, and take things at your own pace. There’s no pressure to interact – but if it’s your first visit, staff are good at spotting a new face and will come over to say hello.

Aurora lounge

This is the drop-in space – a relaxed, come-as-you-are environment where you can join a group, start a conversation, play some pool, do some colouring, or simply sit and take it all in.
