Gerstein Crisis Centre is the anchor for the downtown project. In July 2024, services expanded to include geographies east, west, and south of the downtown core. The TTC-TCCS Pilot Project is an extension of TCCS which aims to provide crisis support and services for TTC service-users experiencing crisis within the TTC Downtown U-Zone of Line 1.Gerstein Crisis Centre (GCC) strongly believes that early intervention for mental health needs provided by a mental health worker, rather than an enforcement service, can facilitate access to help sooner.
