Preserving Essential Support for Black and Racialized Women and Femmes

Canadian Women of Colour Leadership Network (CWCLN) is dedicated to preserving programs that empower Black and racialized women through advocacy, outreach, and transformative training initiatives.

Our work includes advocacy for Black maternal health, outreach to underserved communities, and leadership training as a vehicle for economic security. We offer vital programs like mental health counseling, peer support networks, and creative expression for healing and empowerment. These efforts strengthen partnerships, address systemic barriers, and create meaningful opportunities for women and femmes of colour.

Your support amplifies access to critical resources, advocacy, and community connections.

We’re thrilled to introduce Healing in Connection — a new counselling initiative created to support racialized women and femmes in Ottawa during the holiday season.

In partnership with Myrtha Counselling, Psychotherapy and Research Centre, the Canadian Women of Colour Leadership Network (CWCLN) is offering subsidized, culturally sensitive counselling sessions that provide a safe space to pause, breathe, and receive support that truly understands your lived experience.

This initiative is about more than counselling — it’s about community, care, and connection.
