International Human Solidarity Day reminds us that mental health care is not an individual challenge — it is a shared responsibility.
Every donor, partner, caregiver, clinician, teacher, neighbour, and young advocate who walks alongside a struggling family is part of a powerful network of solidarity and care.
Thank you for standing with us. Together, we strengthen hope, resilience, and possibility.

Feeling low energy, irritable, or withdrawn as winter sets in? Seasonal Affective Disorder is real — and it affects children and youth too.
SAD can look like:
☁️ Trouble waking up or sleeping too much
☁️ Loss of interest in activities
☁️ Changes in appetite
☁️ Feeling hopeless or “not like yourself”
You don’t have to push through it alone. Talking about it is a powerful first step. 💚
If you’re concerned about your child or teen’s mental health, we’re here to help.

Every child deserves safety. Every child deserves mental health care. Every child deserves to live free from discrimination and fear.

Children’s rights are human rights. 💙

Shorter days and darker skies can make winter hard — especially for children and youth already navigating mental health challenges.
Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is more than the “winter blues.” It can affect sleep, mood, appetite, and energy — and it deserves compassion, understanding, and support.
💡 What can help: routine, outdoor time, connection, light, and reaching out when things feel heavy.
You’re not alone in this season. We’re here to help.
