CMHA HKPR is proud to support Pink Shirt Day 👚

We’re standing together against bullying and choosing kindness. At CMHA HKPR, we’re committed to being a safe, supportive space for anyone who needs us.

Let’s keep spreading kindness, today and every day, to help build communities where everyone feels included. 💗

02/25/2026

Every year on Pink Shirt Day, people in schools, workplaces, and communities around the world reach for something pink as a quiet act of courage. This small choice sends a powerful message about the kind of communities we want to build, where everyone feels safe and respected, and where people stand together to say that bullying will not go unchallenged.

Bullying can happen face to face, in group chats, on gaming platforms, or on social media. It can be loud and obvious or quiet and isolating — and however it shows up, it harms mental health.

Pink Shirt Day is one moment in the year, but the attitudes behind it can shape every day that follows. When we take bullying seriously and stand with those who are being harmed, we build communities where more people feel like they belong.

CMHA HKPR is here for those who need support. Learn more about our programs at cmhahkpr.ca 🩷
