Having worked in the field of social services and community health for over 15 years, both Patrick and Beth understand many of the challenges facing both individuals and caregivers, and know first hand how valuable it is to have the right resources at the right time. 

 

For this reason, Trellis was founded in 2023. Trellis exists to provide hope-fuelled strategies and support for people to thrive. Whether it’s for yourself as an individual, your work, or your community as a whole, we have made it our mission to provide the practical tools, strategies, information, and education opportunities that you need to continue to grow in health. 

 

Trellis also offers services from a Christian perspective for those looking for a faith-based option. Beth and Patrick have been part of the Christian community as lay-pastors and leaders for the past 20 years. Understanding that faith can offer an additional resource for resilience and wellbeing we seek to equip the church to care for and support the mental health and wellness of all people.
