We were proud to present a cheque for $150,000 to the Canadian Mental Health Association – North & West Vancouver.
This incredible total was raised by our members and guests at the Seymour Charity Tournament on July 10. A huge thank you to everyone who participated and supported this important cause!

We are beyond grateful and proud to have been chosen as the recipient of this year’s Seymour Golf and Country Club Charity Tournament — for the third time running!

For over three decades, Seymour Golf & Country Club has been raising funds and making a lasting impact on the North Shore. This year marked the 32nd annual tournament, and we are humbled to be part of their incredible legacy of community care and generosity.

This year, Seymour and over 30 incredible sponsors came together to raise an astounding $150,000 in support of mental health on the North Shore. This gift is truly transformational; it will sustain our counselling services, empower youth through our Steps program, and strengthen our Outreach and Housing programs altogether.

To every sponsor, golfer, and community member who made this possible – thank you, we are overwhelmed with gratitude! A special shout out to Gary Lewis and Ledcor Construction Ltd. for leading as our Title Sponsor.

And if you missed Emmanuel’s moving story and speech about his mental health & substance use journey – a former client and resident in our housing program – a short clip of it can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/share/r/16S8FREYos/

Thanks to Seymour Golf, hope and healing are closer within reach to folks in our community.

We’re sending our heartfelt thanks to Brian, Cherie, Marilyn, and William from Foresters Financial for their generous and thoughtful support of our STEPS Youth Program here on the North Shore.

Thanks to their members and team’s fundraising efforts – including bottle drives, donations, and a BBQ – they raised over $1k (and counting!) AND donated tons of much-needed supplies like art materials, outdoor equipment, journals, umbrellas, and of course, snacks for our incredible youth. 🌟

STEPS is a free, low-barrier recreational program designed for North Shore youth facing mild to moderate mental health challenges. Through nature-based activities, social support, and peer connections, youth ages 13-18 (Wednesdays at 4:30 PM) and 19-29 (Tuesdays at 5:30 PM) can connect, grow, and access one-on-one support from our Steps Peer Support Team.

If you or someone you know would like to get involved, please contact our Steps Youth Program Coordinator at abigail.laforest@cmhanorthshore.ca 🌿

Thank you again Foresters Financial, your support means brighter futures for youth in our community.

As part of International Overdose Awareness Day, our team stood in solidarity with the Squamish Nation, walking together to honour and remember the lives lost to overdose and the ongoing drug crisis.

We are grateful to the Squamish Nation and allies for holding space where nation members shared their stories with courage, vulnerability, hope, and resilience. Mental health and substance use are deeply interconnected, and the recovery journey never has to be walked alone. CMHA NWV is committed to walking alongside our community with compassion, resources, and support.

Today is International Youth Day, and we’re shining a spotlight on the incredible young people in our STEPS program.

International Youth Day celebrates the power of youth as essential co-creators in building a better world: amplifying their voices, encouraging their leadership, and creating spaces where they can thrive.

At CMHA NWV, STEPS provides youth with safe and supportive opportunities for connection, growth, and mental well-being.

Through fun and challenging nature-based activities, youth are encouraged to interact in a nurturing, non-judgmental environment while promoting healthy habits for their mental health. From hiking, kayaking, yoga, to skill-based learning, these activities help build self-confidence and strengthen both social and personal goals.

Pictured here is our STEPS cohort kayaking in 2023 – just one example of how we blend outdoor adventures with peer connection and nature-based healing.

Research shows that time in nature can lower stress, boost mood, and reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression – with as little as 20 minutes outdoors making a difference! By pairing these experiences with peer support, STEPS empowers youth to harness the healing power of nature while building meaningful connections with their peers.

🍃 STEPS (ages 13–18): Wednesdays at 4:30 PM
🍂 STEPS+ (ages 19–29): Tuesdays at 5:30 PM

We have spaces available in both cohorts and are currently accepting registrations! Contact emma.duggan@cmhanorthshore.ca or 778-866-2408 to sign up.

Last month, we were deeply honoured to have Emmanuel, a former resident of our Supportive Housing Program, share his story at the CMHA NWV x Seymour Golf & Country Club Charity Tournament.

Emmanuel, your courage and fighting spirit continue to inspire us every day. From the bottom of our hearts at CMHA NWV, thank you for sharing your story and for allowing us to be a part of your mental health journey. ♥️

This reel captures just a short snippet of Emmanuel’s powerful and moving speech.

Emmanuel lived at Arborlynn House, one of our supportive housing sites for folks living with concurrent disorders (the co-occurrence of mental health challenges and substance use).

Our supportive housing program provides stable housing and wraparound support to help individuals move toward recovery, independence, and re-integration with the community.
