The Gilbert Centre is a community-based, not-for-profit, charitable organization that has been providing programs and services as the AIDS Committee of Simcoe County since 1995. In 2015, in part to recognize the reality of people with HIV not developing AIDS and living healthy lives with HIV, the organization changed its name from the AIDS Committee of Simcoe County to the Gilbert Centre for Social and Support Services. The Gilbert Centre, named after our founder Ed Gilbert, not only reflects the changes in understanding and managing HIV, but also embraces the expansion of our programming to serve lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender individuals and families in the Simcoe Muskoka area.

New Path Youth and Family Services offers a free range of child and youth mental health services in-person, by-phone or online. Through leadership and partnerships, we ensure that children and youth have integrated, accessible, and inclusive mental health services when and where they need them. New Path was formed in 2000 as a result of an amalgamation of four child and youth mental health service providers across Simcoe County. The original vision of the amalgamation remains as true today as it did in the late 90’s and is reflected in New Path’s current vision of healthy, thriving and connected communities that support personal growth and well-being.
