Welcome to Better Impactful Living Foundation
At Better Impactful Living Foundation, we are dedicated to providing services in Toronto, helping individuals navigate life's challenges with confidence and clarity.
Services
Food and Essentials
Our organization is dedicated to providing immediate support to marginalized communities, including Black individuals, refugees, and the homeless. We recognize the urgent needs these groups face and prioritize delivering essential resources such as food, clothing, and hygiene products. However, we believe that immediate assistance is just the beginning. We are equally committed to offering comprehensive programs that empower individuals to achieve long-term stability and self-sufficiency. This includes access to job training, financial literacy workshops, and mental health support, which are crucial for fostering resilience and independence. By addressing both immediate and long-term needs, we aim to uplift individuals and create sustainable change within the communities we serve. Our holistic approach not only meets urgent needs but also paves the way for brighter futures, helping marginalized individuals regain dignity and achieve their goals. Together, we can build a more equitable society where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
Community Engagement
We foster strong community relationships and provide vital support to Black individuals, refugees, and those experiencing homelessness. Community engagement is essential for promoting the well-being of Black individuals, refugees, and those experiencing homelessness. We prioritize creating inclusive spaces where these communities can connect, share their experiences, and access vital resources. Our initiatives include organizing skill-building workshops and cultural events to empower individuals and celebrate diversity. Facilitating support networks that encourage sharing and mutual aid, fostering a sense of belonging. Raising awareness about the unique challenges faced by these communities, advocating for equitable access to services and resources. Collaborating with local organizations to enhance service offerings and create a stronger support network. Providing information on housing, healthcare, and employment opportunities tailored to community needs.
Mental Health Resources
The first mental health study of Black communities in Canada has revealed that a significant majority of Black Canadians experience severe depressive symptoms, with women being particularly affected. The study highlights how racial discrimination plays a critical role in exacerbating these mental health challenges. In response, we aim to provide accessible and comprehensive mental health resources, connecting individuals with supportive agencies that can help them. We work with racialized individuals, refugees and homeless individuals with mental illness who require support to live and work in the community. We provide on-going support as needed by the client in order for them to stabilize, achieve their goals, and improve the quality of his or her life. Better impactful living foundation provides community mental health supports through different programs like Individual support, Community outreach, Support groups, Skills building, Social and recreational activities.
Employment and Job support
Our job training and employment support programs equip individuals with the skills and resources needed to achieve economic independence. We offer a variety of workshops, resume building sessions, training opportunities, online courses, and mentorship programs designed to empower participants.
Currently, we have two key programs:
Hobby Monetization Program: This initiative teaches individuals how to turn their passions into income-generating ventures, providing practical workshops and guidance to help them succeed.
Career Exploration and Development Program: This program assists participants in identifying suitable career paths and the necessary training or courses to pursue them. We offer personalized support, including resume building and mentorship, to ensure individuals are well-prepared for the job market.
Through these programs, we aim to foster self-sufficiency and help individuals build fulfilling careers that align with their interests and aspirations. Anyone interested can send us an email via info@betterimpactfullivingfoundation.ca
