My Sisters’ Place (MSP) is a safe, welcoming and inclusive centre that supports women through drop-in and wrap-around services. Many experience multiple vulnerabilities including gender based violence, trauma, chronic mental and physical health challenges, homelessness or housing instability, substance use, and extreme poverty.
Developed with input from women of lived experience, My Sisters’ Place offers a comprehensive multi-disciplinary support system with the capacity to deliver practical needs, specialized services and education/skills development under one roof. At the core of My Sisters’ Place is a commitment to promoting a welcoming and non-judgmental culture, a reprieve from the stigma women so often feel in other community settings.
Within our mother agency CMHA Middlesex, we connect women with mental health services, Case Management, Clinical Services, and Community Programs. We also work closely with community partners to connect women with other supports in the community.

We are pausing donations after Wednesday, December 23, 2020. With limited space and staff resources, we have a lot of sorting to do in order to keep our space organized and efficient. We’ve been in full sprint for the last couple of months with a very lean team. Stay tuned for an update in January.
Monetary donations help to keep the doors open and the lights on. A considerable portion of our operating budget comes from you — generously donating because you believe in the work we do. To make a monetary donation to My Sisters’ Place please use this link: https://cmhamiddlesex.ca/donate-now-my-sisters-place/
THANK YOU to everyone who has so generously donated to My Sisters’ Place. We truly couldn’t do the work without your support!
