June marks Seniors Month in Ontario, a time to recognize and celebrate the contributions of older adults across the province. This year’s theme, “Ontario Seniors — Let’s Get Moving,” highlights programs that support wellness, social connection, and lifelong learning.

Mental health is just as important in later life as it is at any other stage, yet it is often overlooked. Many seniors experience grief, social isolation, chronic illness, and major life changes that can affect their emotional well-being. Access to responsive community supports is essential to help seniors live with dignity and purpose.

While 2SLGBTQIA+ communities continue to face disproportionately high rates of mental health challenges, substance use and suicidality, these experiences do not define the community.

There is also joy. Creativity. Leadership. Advocacy. Care for one another.

There are people building safer spaces, supporting one another through crisis, advocating for better systems and creating communities where others feel less alone.

At CMHA, we won’t stop working toward a mental health and addictions system where every person feels supported and safe being who they are.

CMHA Waterloo Wellington recognizes Children & Youth in Care Day, a meaningful provincial day that shines a light on the strength, resilience, and voices of young people in and from care across Ontario, including here in Guelph and Wellington County.

This year’s theme, “Rising in Strength and Story,” reflects an important truth: children and youth who experience care are not defined by the systems around them, but by who they are, what they’ve overcome, and where they’re going.

In Guelph and Wellington, children and youth in care continue to navigate complex systems while shaping their identities, aspirations, and dreams. When community leaders and organizations recognize this day, it sends a powerful message: you matter, your story matters, and your community stands with you.

At any given time, approximately 115 children and youth in Guelph and Wellington County are supported in and from care, reflecting a continuum of care, connection, and support.

Together, we can continue to listen, uplift, and create spaces where every young person feels seen, valued, and supported.
