Earlier this month, our Crisis Response, Community-Led (CRCL) team hosted a booth at the Health & Wellness Fair alongside partners from NSIIP, Impact North Shore, Foundry, North Vancouver Recreation & Culture, VCH, and the District of West Vancouver at the Lions Gate Recreation Centre.

We had some great conversations with community members – many who hadn’t heard about CRCL or our other CMHA NWV programs. It was a wonderful opportunity to connect, collaborate, and help destigmatize mental health in our community.

Thank you to everyone who came out to support!

If you’ve been following our news over the last few months, you may be familiar with Rudy’s story. Starting in May 2025, Rudy set out on a cross-Canada journey by bike and on foot to raise awareness and funds for mental health and CMHA NWV. He averaged over 100 kilometres of cycling a day AND completed a 100-kilometre ultramarathon in each province (wow 🤯) – all in support of mental health advocacy and CMHA NWV’s programs.

We had the privilege of meeting Rudy in person at our office, hearing firsthand what his day-to-day trek was like, and learning how deeply mental health matters to him. We’re so grateful for his dedication and support, and are incredibly honoured to know that someone as inspiring as him is part of our community.

If you’d like to support Rudy’s mission, we hope you'll consider donating at the link below, or share his story with someone who may want to contribute. Last chance to support Rudy's cause! 💙

We’re proud to share that our Counselling and Steps Program Manager, Blair Hackman, will be part of a panel at this year’s Seniors Expo 2025. This important discussion will explore how meaningful relationships, accessible programs, and everyday social connections strengthen seniors’ health and resilience.

Joined by community experts from Home to Home Advisory Services Inc., myCareBase, North Shore Neighbourhood House, North Shore Community Resources, Vancouver Coastal Health, and Coast, they’ll highlight both the barriers that isolate older adults – such as elder abuse, ageism, and crisis – and the supports that can help break them down.

Date & Time: Saturday, October 4th, 2025 from 12:15 – 4:00 PM
Location: Silver Harbour Centre (144 E 22nd St, North Vancouver)

This panel is free to attend. Come learn, connect, and be part of the conversation on supporting healthy aging in our local community!

We were proud to present a cheque for $150,000 to the Canadian Mental Health Association – North & West Vancouver.

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.
