ABOUT US
We are a non-profit, charitable organization that provides treatment, crisis intervention, and support
services to people living with mental illness and intellectual challenge. Our headquarters is located in
Winnipeg, Manitoba and we have branches in Brandon, Portage la Prairie, Selkirk, Morden/Winkler, The
Pas, Regina, and Moose Jaw.
WHO DOES TURNING LEAF SUPPORT?
The participants of our programs are often deeply impacted by their circumstances which can become
barriers to living safely and independently in the community. Generational trauma, homelessness,
poverty, addictions, discrimination, sexual exploitation, societal stigmas, and lack of access to resources
are some of the barriers our participants face every day.
WHAT SERVICES DOES TURNING LEAF OFFER?
Our support is customized to every individual's needs and risk level. We offer Community Support, Day
Service, Intensive Home Supports (formerly Residential Services) which includes emergency housing, 24hour shift-staffed homes, Cluster housing, and Home Share. We also offer After-Hours Crisis Response,
Harm Reduction Support, Clinical Services, Indigenous Services and more.
WHY CHOOSE TURNING LEAF?
Our support is customized to each person. We walk with people and help them overcome generational
trauma, addictions, homelessness, poverty, discrimination, isolation and more. We believe that everyone
has the right and responsibility to make choices. We understand that everyone is doing their best to
move forward in life in a positive way. A poor decision with a negative outcome does not change this; we
regard these decisions as honest efforts to meet needs. Turning Leaf believes that everyone has the right
to be safe and supported and to be treated with dignity and respect, regardless of bad choices they’ve
made or the bad things that have been done to them. A person-centered approach to support means
that we empower participants to take the lead in their own life, in every way, and without judgement.
HOW DOES SOMEONE GET SUPPORT?
A person who is referred to Turning Leaf must be both open to services and connected to a government
funding agent such as CLDS/CLSD or PASS. If you are not connected, our skilled Intake team is here to
help you navigate these systems. From there we can move forward with the application process to
determine your eligibility and how to meet your needs.
HOW CAN YOU BE PART OF CHANGE?
Turning Leaf makes a positive and meaningful impact on vulnerable people’s lives every single day,
and you can too. Working here is deeply rewarding and many of our employees say they've found their
life’s purpose here. We are always growing and we are always hiring, in every region. For current career
opportunities and to apply, please visit our website here.
