What is SAFER SIX?
SAFER SIX is a safe space designed for all individuals, regardless of gender and sexual orientation to encourage more sexual testing and normalizing treatment as a part of regular everyday health screening for all individuals.
We felt there was a service lacking for the citizens of West Toronto and want to fill that void.
