International Day of Charity

Charity can look like many things.

It can be making a donation, volunteering your time, sharing a community organization’s message, or simply doing something kind for someone who needs a little support.

Today, we’re asking our community to consider supporting mental health care in Parry Sound.

We are working to raise funds to bring an after-hours Walk-In Counselling Clinic to our Parry Sound location, giving people another opportunity to access mental health support when they need it.

If you are a philanthropist, business, organization or community member who would like to make a financial contribution toward this goal, we would love to hear from you.

But remember, you don't need money to make a difference.

Today, you can:
• Check in on someone who may be struggling
• Volunteer your time
• Donate gently used items to a local organization
• Share a community fundraiser or cause
• Offer your skills or expertise
• Help a neighbour
• Buy from a local charity or community organization
• Simply do something kind for someone else

Every act of kindness helps build a stronger, more caring community.

And sometimes, one small act of support can make a very big difference.

Sleep is more than just rest — it's an important part of our mental health.

When life gets busy, sleep can sometimes be one of the first things we push aside. But getting enough quality sleep can help support our mood, concentration, energy and ability to manage stress.

A consistent sleep routine doesn't have to be complicated. Small changes, like creating a relaxing bedtime routine, keeping a regular sleep schedule and giving yourself time to wind down, can make a difference.

Swipe through for some simple ways to build healthier sleep habits.

And remember: struggling with sleep is common, and you don't have to figure it out alone. If your sleep is regularly affecting how you feel or function during the day, reaching out for support is a good place to start.

Hidden in Plain Sight: The Conversations We Need to Have

Join CMHA Muskoka-Parry Sound for our Annual General Meeting and Conference Day — a day of learning, connection, and community action.

This year’s conference will shine a light on three urgent and interconnected issues affecting our communities: men’s mental health, human trafficking, and homelessness. Through powerful presentations, lived-experience perspectives, and meaningful discussion, we will explore challenges that are often visible, yet too often overlooked.

Attendees can look forward to:
• Three engaging and thought-provoking workshops led by experts and individuals with lived experience
• A delicious lunch and opportunities to connect with community members, partners, and service providers
• Wellness breaks throughout the day, including yoga and mindful movement sessions led by physiotherapist and yoga instructor Nancy Neuenhagen
• CMHA Muskoka-Parry Sound’s Annual General Meeting, celebrating achievements, impact, and future directions

Whether you are a community member, professional, advocate, student, or someone interested in creating positive change, this event offers an opportunity to learn, connect, and be part of important conversations that strengthen our communities.

Together, we can increase awareness, reduce stigma, and build a more compassionate and supportive Muskoka-Parry Sound.

Registration is now open!

Back to School Means New Routines

As school starts, routines and expectations begin to change—for kids, teens, parents, caregivers and families.

Earlier mornings.
New schedules.
Homework and activities.
Changes in friendships and responsibilities.

It can take time for everyone to settle into a new rhythm, and that's okay.

As you adjust:
• Give yourself time to adapt
• Keep expectations realistic
• Build in time for rest and connection
• Talk about how you're feeling
• Remember that asking for help is a strength

You don't have to have the perfect routine on the first day.

New routines take time. Be patient with yourself and each other.

This International Overdose Awareness Day, we remember the people we’ve lost to overdose and the people who continue to carry that loss with them.

Because behind every overdose statistic is a person. A friend. A neighbour. A loved one. Someone’s someone.

Knowing how to recognize an overdose and what to do next can save a life. Swipe through to learn the signs.

If you think someone is experiencing an opioid overdose, call 911 and give naloxone if you have it.

This August 31, learn the signs. Share what you know. And remember the people behind the numbers.

If you’re in crisis, call or text 9-8-8 for free, confidential support, 24/7.

A little September check-in

As summer winds down and routines start to change, you might be feeling excited, overwhelmed, or somewhere in between.

Transitions can affect our mental health, even when the change is something we’re looking forward to.

Before September gets busy, take a moment to check in with yourself:
• How am I feeling?
• What do I need more of right now?
• What can I let go of?
• Who can I reach out to if things feel overwhelming?

You don't have to have everything figured out before September begins.

Take it one day, one step and one moment at a time.

International Overdose Awareness Day | August 31

Today, we remember the lives lost to overdose and stand with the families, friends and communities who continue to feel that loss.

We also recognize the many people whose lives have been affected by substance use and overdose.

Want to honour someone you've lost?
Light a candle.
Place a flower somewhere meaningful.
Share their name or a favourite memory.
Wear purple.

Take a quiet moment to remember the person they were and the life they lived.

Sometimes, a simple act of remembrance can mean a lot.

We hope to see you at one of our International Overdose Awareness Day events as we come together to remember, support one another, raise awareness and remind our community that help, hope and recovery are possible.

Every life matters. Every person has a story. Every loss matters.
