A Safe Space, Built by and for Survivors
The Gatehouse, formerly the gatekeeper’s residence for the old Lakeshore Psychiatric Hospital, is now home to our non-profit organization supporting survivors of childhood sexual abuse. What once served as an entry point to the hospital grounds has become a place of safety, connection, and renewed hope for survivors on their healing journey.
Inside this historic building, survivors gather in a warm, supportive environment grounded in compassion and peer-led understanding. We offer a nominal program fee on a sliding scale, ensuring that finances are never a barrier to accessing support.
The Gatehouse is a community where survivors are heard, believed, and empowered to reclaim their voices.
