Friends of Ruby is dedicated to the progressive well-being of 2SLGBQTIA+ youth (aged 16-29) through mental health services, social services and housing. Our approach is comprehensive, involving mind, body, and community – wherever you are on your personal journey.
Our vision – a world where all lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex and two-spirit young people feel validated, involved and feel empowered to lead healthier lives.
Our impactful counselling modalities, therapeutic groups, social activities and practical supports address multiple aspects of a youth’s life, from health and education to employment. Combined with an integrated transitional housing model, this supports youth towards independent living.
Every service and program we offer is informed by 2SLGBQTIA+ youth, grounded in evidence, and supported by research. Our services and programs are led and facilitated by highly-skilled 2SLGBQTIA+ individuals who reflect the diversity of the youth we serve. Here, nobody is an outsider. We work hard to help create a reality where all 2SLGBQTIA+ youth are validated, involved, and empowered to lead their lives.
