Our Story

Our Journey

Our story began with two separate paths converging. Mandy's foundation in Early Childhood Education (2008) and Candace's Social Work background (2011) created the perfect combination for what was to come. When they met in 2016, their shared vision led to co-facilitating Grief Recovery Method groups, marking the beginning of a powerful partnership. Both founders continued their professional development, with Mandy undertaking her Trauma-Informed Clinical MSW and Candace completing her Addictions Counselling Diploma. In 2021, their dream took shape as Bear Guidance, the precursor to what would become Orchid Rain Support Services.In March 2022, we officially incorporated as Orchid Rain Support Services. Like our namesake, we believe in resilience and growth through challenging conditions. Since then, we've expanded our expertise through specialized training and developed clear mission and vision statements that guide our work.
