Participation House opened in June 1978 to provide community living accommodation for persons with physical disabilities. In 1985, we became involved in the community through the establishment of Supportive Living Apartments (West Street Apartments) with 11 of the residents from Participation House moving into their own private apartment. 32 years later, we support 26 people at Participation House and 17 at the West Street Apartments. Our energy is geared to helping these individuals realize their full potential and to help them play a more integral role in the community to which the live. Participation House is a non-profit organization receiving its funding assistance through the LHIN (Local Health Integrated Network).

OPTIONS works to educate, advocate and support people in their sexual and reproductive health decisions. The VISION of OPTIONS is Healthy Sexuality Throughout the Lifespan. Much of the information that people receive about sexuality comes from movies, music, the internet and television. This can lead to confusion and misinformation about sexuality for adults and youth alike. This lack of information can increase the risk for sexually transmitted infections, unintended pregnancy, and can create relationships issues and/or personal distress. OPTIONS Sexual Health Association recognizes and responds to the need for accurate, unbiased information concerning sexuality and skills to determine personal boundaries and to make healthy decisions within the context of a person's values, beliefs, culture and experience.

Based in BC, Options for Sexual Health is Canada's largest non-profit provider of sexual health services, which has been operating for 50 years. Our clinics offer a supportive, confidential, nonjudgmental space to talk about anything to do with sex, sexuality, and relationships. Opt clinics also offer safer sex supplies, pregnancy and sexually transmitted infection (STI) testing, emergency contraception, and birth control at reduced rates. We have over 50 clinics throughout British Columbia. Our Education Programs provide age-appropriate sexuality education programs for children, youth, adults, and professionals on a variety of topics. Our programs are learner-centred, interactive, and individually tailored. Our toll-free 1-800-SEX-SENSE line is a free, nonjudgmental, confidential and anonymous phone and email service that provides information and referrals about sex, contraception, sexually transmitted infections, pregnancy options and anything else to do with sexuality.

Although access to contraception and abortion was decriminalized over 40 years ago, barriers continue to exist to comprehensive sexual health in many communities across Canada. People of all ages, but especially young people, struggle with cost, lack of confidentiality in small or rural communities, and insufficient access to reliable, nonjudgmental information. CFSH’s donors are helping us provide the reliable and non-judgemental sexual health information all Canadians deserve. Your donations help us develop and distribute sexual health promotional materials, inclusive sexual health education materials, and accessible social media toolkits for our member organizations. In addition your support allows us to facilitate communication between our incredible member organizations to ensure we have a strong and united national voice for sexual and reproductive health.
