Delta, these are the numbers that keep us up at night. πŸ‘‡

✦ 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 β€” 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 β€” this is your chance.

Hey Delta! Here's something we love about the Move for Mental Health walk. Every single dollar we raise stays right here in our community.

No head offices. No admin overhead somewhere else. 100% of proceeds go directly to funding real, professional counselling for people in our community who need it but simply can't afford it.

Your neighbour. A coworker. Someone's kid.

It won't matter what kind of shoes you wear, your steps do something that lasts long after walk day is over. That's pretty powerful for a morning stroll.

πŸ‘Ÿ Sign up today and let's do this together. https://move-for-mental-health-2026.raiselysite.com/

A huge thank you to our title sponsor β€” Delta Hospital & Community Health Foundation β€” for boosting our impact and keeping community health at the heart of everything we do.

Your dog has been trying to tell you something. 🐾

Turns out walking together is one of the best things you can do for your mental health β€” less stress, better mood, more connection. And apparently, a pup rocking sunglasses and a plaid hat? Instant friends!.

We wrote about it. And then we made it an event.

Join us Saturday, June 13 for Move for Mental Health β€” a community walk at The Red Barn in Tsawwassen. Dogs not just welcome. Dogs ENCOURAGED. 🐢
Oh, and there's a prize for best dressed dog. Just saying.

Somewhere in Delta, right now, someone is quietly struggling -- but can't afford the help they need. πŸ’š

Step Forward Health Society exists for that person. And Move for Mental Health is your chance to be the reason that person gets the help they need.

Join us on Saturday, June 13 for a community walk at The Red Barn in Tsawwassen. Every registration and every dollar raised goes directly to bridging the gap between the cost of mental health care and what people can actually pay.

We're so thankful to our title sponsor, (Delta Hospital & Community Health Foundation), for standing beside us in this work and helping ensure no one in our community has to face hard days alone.

Come walk with us. Bring your family, your friends, your dog. And know that showing up matters more than you might think.

We'll have live music to keep the energy up, a scavenger hunt for the kids, and prizes for the best costume, best-dressed dog, and most enthusiastic walker β€” just to name a few! It's going to be a celebration as much as it is a worthy cause.

Every step and every dollar matters. Register at stepforwardhealth.ca/events/move-for-mental-health-2026
