Every year, Change the Cycle proves something powerful. When a community comes together, real change happens.

Since 2023, this event has helped raise more than $100,000 in support of local mental health initiatives through the Canadian Mental Health Association Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge. Those dollars stay right here in our community, supporting programs, services, advocacy, su***de prevention efforts, housing initiatives, and care for individuals and families who need it most.

Now it is time to keep the momentum rolling.

Whether you want to ride as an individual, build a team with coworkers and friends, support a participant, or simply make a donation, every single contribution matters.

Loneliness is a feeling that comes from being alone or disconnected from others. It is triggered by a lack of meaningful or close relationships or a sense of belonging. Even a person with a lot of friends can feel lonely.

The WHO states that 1 in 6 people experience loneliness and isolation, and that this is a growing health concern globally. In Canada, 13% of people say they feel lonely “always or often.” These rates have been rising globally since 2012.

Let’s come together, Canada, to strengthen our connections and support one another this Mental Health Week and every day moving forward! 💚
