Toronto Women's Support Group- supporting marginalized, racialized, and formerly incarcerated women
About Us
We are a non-profit organization and support group operating in the Greater Toronto Area. TSCF was created to support, empower, and educate incarcerated, marginalized, racialized, and transitional women. No woman should be defined by the mistakes of their past. It is our belief that everyone deserves to lead a happy, productive, and fulfilling life. Both our former and current directors are all aware of the difficulty relating to reintegration back into their community, and society as a whole, after incarceration. Our foundation is created by women for women to assist in providing that “second chance” without judgement that is needed.
Our Mission
Helping each woman, through peer support, education, and training to build a successful life for themselves and or their children.

We provide accessible services in the Scarborough area, including therapy and counselling. The goal is to provide barrier-free counselling to marginalized, transitional, racialized, and formerly incarcerated women. Drop-in counselling is offered from time to time. Please contact for more info. We work with shelters around the Scarborough area, to provide homing services to women living in poverty, fleeing from abuse, or looking for local resources. Women that are on parole or probation are provided guidance to stabilize their lives.
Support Group aims to provide a safe and supportive atmosphere for any woman or man affected by mental health issues such as PTSD, depression, a relationships. The meeting utilizes a supportive group format where people are encouraged to share their thoughts and feelings.
On release from prison, each woman is given a voucher for our store which will allow them to shop independently for items they will need to make a fresh start. Vouchers vary according to need and family size. There is no greater boost to one’s self-esteem than independence in any form.
Meals and Care packages are put together and distributed once per year (usually during the month of June/July) to the homeless by our dedicated volunteers.
