Have you heard of Flora’s Walk?! It is Canada’s largest perinatal mental health fundraiser taking place in over 50 cities across Canada. The event culminates in May, World Maternal Mental Health Month, where, after months of fundraising and planning, walks and events are held in cities across Canada throughout the month of May to call attention to the need for improved perinatal mental health care.
Who was Flora?
Flora’s Walk is named after Canadian mother, Flora, who tragically lost her life in 2022 to undetected, undiagnosed and untreated postpartum psychosis. We honour Flora and all those who have lost their lives to perinatal mental illness and fight for those struggling to receive care.
Huntsville’s second annual walk will occur Saturday, April 26th, 2025 at 11:00 am at River Mill Park. By joining the walk you are raising awareness of Perinatal Mental Health Programs. This year the funds raised are being donated to Christine’s Place Muskoka. We feel incredibly honoured and humbled to be recipients of this year's fundraising. Our centre was created for mothers just like Flora; we are here as a beacon of light & resource to help and connect struggling mothers, their partners and their families to the care they need and deserve.
