"Shalem" (pronounced ShaLAME) is a beautiful Hebrew word which means "wholeness", "restoration" and "peace". In that spirit, and driven by such core Gospel values as healing, restoration and community for all, we seek to come alongside those who are hurting and vulnerable. We believe that all of us are wounded in some way but that healing and restoration is also possible. Shalem offers two ways of accompaniment: 1. Individual, couple and family counselling. We also offer specialized therapy for children and youth who struggle with attachment disorders and their caregivers. We deeply honour and respect all those who embark on a journey of healing. 2. Equipping and supporting communities, including faith communities, to better embrace the needs of people who struggle with emotional distress and/or mental illness. Our dream includes developing services which help to define a new, mutually beneficial relationship between professional mental health programs and community.

The YMCA’s purpose is to build strong kids, strong families, and strong communities through the planning and implementation of programs balancing the development of spirit, mind and body. The YMCA of Greater Halifax/Dartmouth serves the entire Halifax Regional Municipality, a population of 400,000, as well as having several outreach programs across the Province of Nova Scotia. More than 50,000 people use YMCA programs and services annually; 30,000 of these are young people. Through YMCA Strong Kids we provide $300,000 each year to provide access to the hundreds of young people and families who are willing, but unable, to afford full program fees. Most of this financial assistance is due to the generosity of our donors. All funds raised for YMCA Strong Kids provide access to programs including: • Health and Recreation • Camping • Child Care & Afterschool Programs • Programs for immigrant youth and their families
