We wanted to take a moment to thank Michael Sullivan, Ward 1 Councillor for the City of Brantford, for taking time out of his busy schedule to attend our opening and bring this lovely certificate of recognition. It was very much appreciated!

Today we honour all who served and the families who continue to carry their stories.

For many veterans, the toughest battles don’t end when service does. Across Ontario, thousands live with post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, chronic pain or substance-use challenges that began with their time in uniform.

This November 11, we remember their courage and we work toward a future where every veteran’s healing is met with the same respect as their service.

If you or someone you know needs support, call the Veterans Affairs Canada Assistance Service at 1-800-268-7708 or connect with your local CMHA branch.

World Mental Health Day! 🌎

Today, we join people around the world in raising awareness, promoting education, and advocating for better mental health for all.

This year’s theme is “Access to Services: Mental Health in Catastrophes and Emergencies” which highlights the urgent need to ensure everyone can access mental health care and community supports, especially in times of crisis such as natural disasters and conflict.

Access to mental health services isn’t just about treatment, it’s about connection, belonging, and having a supportive community.

A strong sense of community is essential to our well-being. It helps us thrive, and for those living with mental illness, it can make all the difference in easing feelings of loneliness and isolation.

At HOPE, our weekend drop-in programs provide many of the key elements that support mental wellness, including:
🌻 A sense of belonging by offering a place where you can be yourself and be appreciated for your unique qualities.
🌻 Genuine support from peers who understand and can walk alongside you through life’s challenges.

Together, we can help ensure that no one faces mental health challenges alone.
Let’s continue to build communities of care, compassion, and connection.
Not just today, but every day. 💚
