Phare is a community, a mission, and a revolution. The idea for Phare was born during the COVID-19 pandemic. We were inspired by organizations who were providing accessible counselling to frontline and essential workers. But it made us realize that the way people typically access counselling just doesn’t work. People aren’t getting the help they need because of high costs, long waitlists, and confusing processes. Together, we’re going to change that. We created a new sustainable system that removes the barriers of access and focuses on what really matters: improving mental health for everyone.
