Today we celebrate and honour the mothers, grandmothers, caregivers, and maternal figures who provide strength, care, guidance, and unconditional support every day.

At The Bridge Youth & Family Services, we recognize the important role mothers and caregivers play in nurturing healthy families and strong communities, often while navigating challenges with resilience and compassion.

Today is also a reminder that Mother’s Day can hold many emotions. We acknowledge and hold space for those who may be grieving, struggling, separated from loved ones, or experiencing this day differently.

To all those who care for others in ways big and small: thank you.

Wishing everyone a meaningful and gentle Mother’s Day.

We’re proud to join the Canadian Mental Health Association, Kelowna initiative for Mental Health Week.

At The Bridge Youth & Family Services, we know that stronger connections support stronger mental health. Our team shared some of the things that help support wellbeing; from family and pets to nature, teamwork, movement, and connection.

Mental health looks different for everyone, but conversations like these help reduce stigma and remind us that support matters.

What’s one thing that supports your mental health?

As a staff, we were honoured to attend the community Red Dress Day March on May 5th, recognizing Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two-Spirit People (MMIWG2S) put on by the Ki-Low-Na Friendship Society.

The purpose of this day is to honour and remember those who are missing or lost to violence, stand in solidarity with Indigenous families and communities, and increase awareness within the community.
