Yachad, the Canadian Jewish Council for Disabilities

Yachad, the Canadian Jewish Council for Disabilities, provides support and advocacy for Jewish people with physical, sensory, developmental, and mental health disabilities across the GTA and beyond. The organization offers programs including peer support groups, employment services, recreational activities, and accessibility consulting. Yachad works to ensure that individuals with disabilities have equal access to community resources and can participate fully in Jewish life and society. The council also advocates for systemic change through education and collaboration with other organizations, addressing barriers that limit opportunities for disabled people. By combining direct services with broader community work, Yachad helps disabled individuals build independence, connection, and inclusion.
