THERE’S STILL TIME TO REGISTER TO
WALK for HOPE!

Join us on Saturday, September 19th for our 8th Annual Walk for HOPE 2026

Come walk with us to raise mental health awareness and support our much-needed Weekend Drop-In Peer Programs.

With very few resources available on weekends, H.O.P.E. helps bridge that gap by providing a safe, welcoming place for connection, peer support, and community. Our trained Peer Support Specialists are also available for one-on-one support whenever you need someone to talk to. You don't have to struggle or face things alone. 💙

H.O.P.E. receives no direct funding for our weekend programs. Every dollar raised through Walk for HOPE goes directly toward supporting these important services in our community.

Everyone who registers and collects pledges is welcome to join our post-walk celebration, including lunch, door prize draws, and a special gift bag!

Your participation, your pledges, and every step you take help keep our weekend peer support programs available to those who need them.

🌻EVERYONE is welcome! Please register in advance using the link below

What a wonderful surprise! 🎉

I just received the sweetest birthday surprise! A phone call from our Saturday drop-in group, who called just to sing Happy Birthday to me!

This is exactly why I do what I do at HOPE and why peer support is so special.

The connections we make through our peer support groups are truly unbelievable. Over time, these connections become so much more than a job or just showing up to a program. The people we meet become an incredibly special part of our lives, and I feel so grateful to have each and every one of you in mine.

Thank you so much, you guys, for taking the time to call and sing to me. It honestly made my day! And I have to say… you were pretty much on key, so I’d say that was a successful performance! 🎶 😉

I’ll see you all when I’m back in town. Until then, know how much I appreciate you and how thankful I am for each of you.

My heart is full. ❤️

Join Us This Weekend at HOPE! 🌻

Join us this Saturday and Sunday for our peer-led weekend programs. Everyone is welcome!

This Saturday, we're painting kindness rocks! Once they're finished, our Wednesday Walk & Talk group will take them along the trails in Brantford and hide them for others to discover. Come get creative and help us spread a little kindness throughout our community!

Not feeling artistic? No problem! You can come in for a snack and a cup of coffee, enjoy some great conversation, play a game, colour, do a word search, or simply relax. There’s no pressure to participate in any activity. Just come as you are.

And remember, trained peer support specialists are available every Saturday and Sunday. If you're struggling or having a difficult time, come on in and talk with someone. You don't have to do it alone. 💙

20 Darling Street
Saturday & Sunday
12:00 p.m. – 2:30 p.m.

Come for the activity, the coffee, the conversation—or just because you need somewhere to be. We’re here for you.

💙 Wishing Amber All the Best! 💙

This past Saturday, we had to say goodbye to one of our wonderful peer support staff, Amber.

Amber has been such a valued part of our HOPE community, and her kindness, support, and the connections she made with everyone will definitely be missed. It’s never easy to say goodbye to someone who has become part of our HOPE family.

Amber, we wish you nothing but the very best as you begin this next chapter. We hope you know how much you’ve meant to us and how grateful we are for everything you’ve brought to HOPE.

And remember, our doors are always open to you. Come stop in and visit anytime!

Wishing you happiness, success, and lots of wonderful things ahead! 🌻
