Pride Month is almost over — but for a lot of Q***r youth, the hard stuff doesn't end when the parade does.

Our new blog post is for two people: the young person trying to make sense of what they're feeling, and the parent trying to understand their kid's experience. Neither of you needs to have all the answers. You just need somewhere to start.

💛 Read it here: https://www.stepforwardhealth.ca/blog/you-are-not-alone

And if you or someone you love needs support right now — Step Forward's mental health program for Q***r youth is free, confidential, and run by a counsellor from the Q***r community. Details in the post.

Free mental health support for q***r youth in BC. Understand the risks, how to help, and where to find affirming, judgment-free care

WOW. 🎉 Thanks to this incredible community, Move for Mental Health raised over $32,000 for mental health programs right here at home — and we are still pinching ourselves.

We couldn't have done it without our amazing participants, donors, volunteers, and sponsors — including our Title Sponsor Delta Hospital and Community Health Foundation, Blue City Construction, Southlands Grange Centre for Farming & Food , and the legendary booth crew from Envision Financial. 🙌

And if you want to we hit $40,000 — the door is still open. Every dollar counts. stepforwardhealth.ca/donate

Hey Delta! Next Saturday will be fantastic -- ARE YOU IN?
We know it's a busy time of year, but we have a suggestion for you for next Saturday June 13 starting at 10 am.
🎵 Live music at the Red Barn
🐾 Dogs in costumes competing for best dressed prizes
🌮 Alohaaa's food truck
🏂 High fives from Jack the Giant of the Vancouver Giants
📸 Selfie stations along the route
🔍 A scavenger hunt for the kids
💌 A community message line called Words in the Wind

Oh, and it's a fundraiser too — but honestly, just come for the fun!
Every dollar stays local and goes directly to people in our community who need counselling but can't afford it. So you'll have fun AND feel good about it.

👋 Drop an "I'm in!" in the comments so we know to expect you!

Delta, these are the numbers that keep us up at night. 👇

✦ A dozen women are waiting for our "When Love Hurts" group program to receive additional funding so they can get the help they need
✦ 25+ people are waitlisted for our DBT support group
✦ Demand for individual counselling subsidies has grown 300% since last year

These aren't statistics from somewhere else. These are your neighbours. People who have asked for help and are waiting. The Move for Mental Health fundraiser exists for one reason — to close that gap.

Register or donate at https://move-for-mental-health-2026.raiselysite.com/

Every dollar raised goes directly to getting more people off those waitlists and into the support they need. No overhead. No admin. Just real help, right here in Delta.

If you've ever wanted to do something that actually makes a difference locally — this is your chance.
