About Us

Dorset Pier Community Cares (DPCC) is an incorporated Not For Profit that operates out of Thunder Bay, ON. It was fully incorporated in 2020 alongside Dorset Pier Mental Health.

The goal of the Not For Profit is simple: to increase access to mental health and improve the mental health of individuals in need. This goal is achieved through three main pillars: funded counselling sessions, awareness events and creative initiatives.

When creating Dorset Pier Mental Health, a private fee for service counselling organization, Danielle Rider felt strongly that elements of the organization needed to be free and accessible to those who could not afford service. In order to best provide this, DPCC was created and incorporated and has been actively assisting those in the community since 2020. Countless sessions are donated through different means to clients each year, as well as offerings of free resources, awareness events and engagement activities.

DPCC aspires to increase its reach through continuing to fund sessions when possible, increase awareness activities and information sharing, and collaborate with other counselling organizations in the area. In order to achieve these goals, we need your support! Please consider donating today, and reach out if you have any questions or collaboration opportunities!
