About us

CareAVan brings mental-health support directly to youth who need it most, creating a safe, welcoming space on wheels where they can breathe, connect, and heal. We aim to reach youth who may benefit from a safe, mobile therapy space, as well as community partners and potential donors who believe in expanding accessible, trauma-informed mental-health support for vulnerable young people.

Our approach

CareAVan meets homeless and substance-using youth where they are, offering a safe, welcoming space for connection, healing, and non-judgmental support. We provide accessible, trauma-informed care to vulnerable youth in North York, Ontario.
