TOMORROW!
See Peer Walk & Talk group for more details.

WALK & TALK begins TOMORROW!

Let's step into something good!

We are a welcoming walking group in Brantford for adults living with mental health challenges. This program combines light exercise, fresh air, and supportive conversation in a relaxed, understanding environment.

We’ll explore local trails, enjoy nature, share real conversations, and maybe even laugh a little along the way. Because healing doesn’t always happen in big leaps, sometimes it happens one step at a time.

Wednesdays at 11:00 am
20 Darling St. Brantford

Everyone Welcome!

After 11 memorable years, the Mood Walk program has officially come to an end. We were truly saddened to hear the news, as it had become such an important and meaningful part of our community over the years. Time and time again, walking and spending time in nature have been shown to support both mental and physical wellness, and we knew we couldn’t let that connection disappear completely.

That’s why HOPE is so excited to introduce our brand new peer-led WALK & TALK group, launching June 3rd! 🎉

This new program will continue creating space for connection, conversation, fresh air, and movement. All the things that made Mood Walks so special. Whether someone is looking to meet others, improve their mood, or simply enjoy a walk with friendly faces, everyone is welcome.

Please help us spread the word by sharing this post with your family and friends.

Thank you so much for your continued support. We can’t wait to walk alongside you all again!

Let’s Step Into Something Good

Starting June 3, 2026

What if feeling a little better began with a simple walk?

Peer Walk & Talk is a welcoming walking group in Brantford for adults (18+) living with mental health challenges. It’s not about speed. It’s not about distance. It’s about showing up, breathing deeply, and walking alongside people who truly get it.

We’ll explore local trails, enjoy fresh air, share real conversations, and even laugh a little along the way. Because healing doesn’t always happen in big leaps, sometimes it happens one step at a time.

Thank you so much to Brant Mental Health Solutions! We are so grateful for your ongoing support of HOPE & our peer programs.

HOPE'S We Care program has been operating for over 20 years. Every Friday morning, two of our volunteer peer support specialists visit the mental health unit at BGH. They bring hygiene kits and socks and offer one-on-one peer support to the in-patients.

Our program relies on donations and our wonderful volunteers. All contributions to our program are gratefully accepted.
