Treasures Charity Thrift Store offers volunteer work opportunities to individuals living with mental health issues who are at a stage in their recovery where they are ready to reintegrate with the community and participate in a social and work experience. Treasures Charity Thrift Store, operated by registered charity Beginning Again Richmond Hill, has been selling gently used clothing, linens, hou

se wares, books, jewellery and collectables at reasonable prices in the Richmond Hill area for over 28 years. We provide a unique experience in which volunteer job coaches from the community and people with mental health needs work co-operatively in all aspects of the store’s operation. This community based program provides opportunities for peer support, skills development and consumer leadership. Volunteers gain a sense of wellbeing while building new relationships and sharing mutual experiences. Treasures is a friendly and inviting atmosphere in which to work, shop and socialize. At Treasures we believe:
1. All people are valuable no matter what their current abilities and limitations and are deserving of respect and recognition that everyone has something of value to contribute.
2. Retail sales work is socially valued work.
3. The Mental Health Recovery process is encouraged in an environment that provides meaningful and valued work.
4. Individuals are encouraged to grow in a supportive, accepting, understanding and friendly environment.
5. Empowerment and Inclusion increase the capacity of individuals and groups to make informed choices and decisions that affect them and helps transform their choices into actions and successful outcomes.
6. Community Awareness through Information and Knowledgehelps reduce the stigma associated with mental illness and helps to encourage those in need of treatment and support to get it.
7. Resilience and Recovery are possible.
8. Respect for the Diversity, Integrity, Dignity, Cultures and Beliefs of all individuals regardless of individual differences strengthens us all.
9. Re-investment of the proceeds from sales back into the store benefits the whole community where people of all backgrounds can gather to develop skills, engage in meaningful relationships and to shop.
10. An alternative shopping experience can be affordable, accessible and environmentally responsible.

Mental Health Awareness Week creates an opportunity for people to think about the ways in which we can enhance our social and emotional wellbeing by building our personal resilience and support networks. We are social creatures, and connection is a fundamental need. We rely on these social connections to thrive. Mental health benefits from a sense of belonging, community and connection. The Canadian Mental Health association tells us that Loneliness has the same impact on life expectancy as smoking 15 ci******es a day. A lack of social contact can speed up cognitive decline, and increase heart disease, depression and su***de.
We each have a part to play. By reaching out to check in with and include others who are struggling we can make a difference in someone’s life.

We were out on the road yesterday and what did we spy? It was our friend Judy's ad in the lane next to us. Judy was the top fundraiser at the Ride Don't Hide fundraiser last weekend for CMHA (Canadian Mental Health Association). She raised over $21,000 and has already started on next year. www.judybrunton.ca

On Sunday we had the pleasure to volunteer in support of the Canadian Mental Health Association's Ride Don’t Hide event. It is the largest mental health bike ride in Canada. Thousands of Canadians from Newfoundland and Labrador to British Columbia aren’t hiding. They cycled in plain sight to put an end to the stigma of mental illness. They were also riding to raise funds for mental health programs and services in their communities.
CMHA’s Ride Don’t Hide is an annual fundraising bike ride held in six provinces and more than 30 communities. Supported by the fundraising efforts of more than 10,000 riders, Ride Don’t Hide raises funds for essential programs and services in communities, workplaces and schools – programs that change lives. Programs that save lives.The Greater Toronto event was held in Newmarket and featured a 5km walk/run, a 20km ride, and for the experienced riders a 60km and 100 km option.
