St. Clare Inn was established by the Friends of Saint Francis, a group of dedicated professional lay men and women as well as Franciscan Friars, to begin to respond to the transitional needs of women in Toronto who have been homeless and are challenged with mental health issues. The Inn provides a safe environment for these women while they continue their healing journey. The values of the Inn, as well as those of the Friends of Saint Francis, are centered on reverence for the individual person, simplicity of lifestyle, the value of an appreciation and embodiment of community, and an ever developing presence of peace in the lives of those involved not only in the operating of St. Clare Inn but in the lives of the women who call this place their transitional home.

Nearly ten years ago, some innovative doula students and their mentor Rivka Cymbalist started offering their services to women's agencies in the Montreal region. The Maison Bleue, the Montreal Diet Dispensary, Auberge Shalom, and CLSC's throughout the area have taken advantage of our free doula program for needy women. Our doulas provide prenatal education, labor and childbirth accompaniment, and postnatal support to many women who would otherwise be alone through this important time in their lives. With no funding, our organization has accompanied up to 60 women a year, and has provided resources and referrals for twice that number.
