Tyff is here to guide you with compassion, understanding, and unwavering support as you navigate your unique journey.
Our Purpose
We believe everyone deserves the space, time and support to navigate the peaks and valleys of life. We journey alongside you as you face any challenges that affect your mental health, wellbeing, and your connection to the communities you identify with. We’re here to help you find balance, heal, and grow, no matter where you are on your journey.
Our Vision
We envision a world where everyone has the support and understanding to live authentically and embrace their true selves. We aim to create spaces where individuals can overcome obstacles to mental health and wellbeing, build stronger connections, and find their place in the communities they feel most at home in.
Our Values
Compassion over empathy: We believe in truly witnessing your experiences, not just interpreting them. Compassion means meeting you where you are, without judgment, and offering the support you need to thrive.
With and For Community: We are built with and for the diversity of SOGIESC and neurodivergent communities. Every person is seen, valued, and supported for who they are.
Courage and creativity: We take bold, innovative approaches to support you in embracing all the parts of yourself. We celebrate your unique journey and honour your multiplicities.
Community and joy: We invest in creating spaces where people feel they belong, can grow, and can be their favourite selves. We believe that community joy and connection are essential to healing.
Decolonising mental health: We are committed to challenging traditional mental health practices and creating collectivist, inclusive spaces that centre the diverse lived experiences of our communities.
