We All Belong Here 💚

CMHA Waterloo Wellington is proud to support the *We All Belong Here* anti-hate campaign — a powerful community campaign designed to help us understand, address, and report hate in our region.

Waterloo Region is known for its compassion and care, yet incidents of hate continue to rise — here and across Canada. That’s why we’re joining forces with community partners to build a stronger sense of safety and belonging for everyone.

✨The webelongwr.ca website and campaign is more than a resource — it’s a call to action. Learn how we can work together to drive systemic change and create lasting impact through collective action.

Together, we can build a community where everyone feels safe, valued, and like they truly belong.💚

Thanks to your generosity, we’ve raised $7,184— and with a matching gift from Lynn Brandwood’s The Power is in the Grip, that total becomes $12,184 in support of life-saving su***de prevention work at CMHA Waterloo Wellington.

Su***de prevention and intervention are woven into every service we offer — whether it’s supporting individuals with thoughts of su***de, educating the public, or surrounding those impacted by su***de with care and compassion.

Because of you, we were there when it mattered most:

📞11,560 crisis calls answered through Here 24/7 and 9-8-8

💬 1,413 texts responded to

🎓 40 su***de prevention training sessions delivered in our community

This work is only possible because of your support! THANK YOU!

Last night we hosted an Evening of Gratitude.

Over the past four years, more than 85 third-party fundraisers have been held in support of CMHA Waterloo Wellington and The Grove Hubs. Each event unique and rooted in generosity—has helped raise over $2 million to strengthen local mental health programs and services. 💚

These events are a powerful reminder of what happens when one person chooses to act—and many join together. Because of you:

💚More people can access the support they need.
💚More families find comfort.
💚More lives are touched with hope.

We were also honoured to present the Neil Dunsmore Power of One Award to Darcie and Paul Shepperd—a full-circle moment of impact and inspiration.

Darcie and Paul’s strength and grace were a driving force behind Neil’s walk, which supported the Cody Shepperd Project, founded in memory of their son, Cody. Since its inception, the project has raised over $250,000 for mental health initiatives in Wellington County, including support for Big Brothers Big Sisters and The Grove Youth Wellness Hubs through events like the Annual Cody Shepperd Memorial Golf Tournament.

💫 Thank you to everyone who continues to make a difference. Your compassion is creating a wave of change across our community.
