The person behind Path Forward
About Gina Peters
I'm Gina Peters, founder of Path Forward Family Consulting, a Developmental Services Worker (DSW) Honours graduate from Humber College with over 10 years of experience supporting individuals and families across the GTA.
I'm also a mom of two children with autism. Alongside my professional experience as a case manager at a non-profit organization, my own family's experience has shown me how overwhelming it can be to figure out which services and resources are available and where to begin.
My approach is person-centred: I listen to your family's priorities and build a practical plan around your loved one's strengths, needs and goals. My aim is to make complicated systems easier to understand and help families feel informed and supported.
