Since our inception in 1964, Compass Community Services has been a trusted provider of social services across Wellington County, Ontario. With offices in Guelph and Fergus, we support individuals and families through developmental services, gender-based violence programs, telephone support, and psychotherapy offered in person, over the phone, and via video. Today, we proudly collaborate with local partners and extend our telephone support services to people across Canada. Guided by our mission to provide responsive, professional care that strengthens individual and community wellbeing, we’re dedicated to building a resilient, supported community for all.
Is Compass Right for You?

Compass Community Services provides a Workplace Employee Assistance Program for Employers to offer to their staff. Once in the program, employees can book therapy sessions directly at the Compass location closest to them. We also offer employers a large selection of wellness talks, workshops and training in addition to termination support and critical incident support.
