Empowering independence through understanding, compassion, and faith
At Harbourlight Christian Counselling & Family Services, we walk alongside children, teens, and families—especially those navigating Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and developmental disabilities—with faith, compassion, and understanding.
Through faith-based counselling, group support, and respite care, we help families feel less alone and more supported in their daily lives. Our goal is to provide encouragement, practical guidance, and a safe space where individuals can grow in confidence and families can find strength.
Serving the Niagara Region, we are here to support both the child and the caregiver—every step of the way.
