Bursary Program for Ukrainian Newcomers Living in Ontario

The Centre’s Community Program offers financial aid through our bursaries – it’s one way we strive to make mindfulness accessible to the community. Ukrainian newcomers to Ontario who have been displaced and are struggling with their mental health are encouraged to apply to the program. We offer a limited number of free bursary spots for each personal mindfulness program we offer (MBCT, MBSR, MSC, or MMAU group therapy programs).

Are you eligible?

• Ukrainian newcomers to Canada, with priority given to those arriving in Canada through the Canada-Ukraine Authorization for Emergency Travel (CUAET) Program
• Currently experiencing financial instability
• Must reside in Ontario to take part in the Bursary Program

What’s required of me to attend a program?

• Able to participate in an in-person or online group setting
• If attending online, must have access to a computer with a webcam, microphone, and internet
