We extend our sincere thanks to The Stoidi Group for their generous support of Youth Wellness Hubs Ontario Wellington-Guelph through their annual golf tournament held on September 15.

This year, The Stoidi Group raised an incredible $74,000 in support of local community organizations, with $18,500 donated to each of four charities, including YWHO Wellington-Guelph, Nutrition for Learning, Marillac Place, and Sunrise Therapeutic Riding Centre.

As a network of mentors and leaders committed to philanthropy and community impact, The Stoidi Group continues to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those they support. We are honoured to have been selected as one of this year’s recipient organizations and are grateful for their investment in youth mental health and well-being.

Thank you for helping ensure young people in our community can access the care, support, and connections they need. 💚💙

Some affirmations from our youth this World Mental Health Day. 💙💚

World Mental Health Day is an opportunity to educate people about mental health and raise global awareness about mental health issues. This years theme is “Lived Experience heard: Real voices, Real Change.”.

The reality is that 20% of Canadian youth are affected by a mental illness or disorder. 70% of people living with mental illness see their symptoms appear before age 18. Youth is a CRITICAL period for youth to be receiving the support they need to build strong mental health and resilience throughout their lives.

Yet, many youth face barriers to accessing care. Whether that be cost, waitlists, lack of support in their area, or something else.

At YWHO WG, we help youth access the care they need, for FREE. 80% of youth we see are connected to the resources they need within 72 hours.

Every single day, youth walk through our doors, whether that be to hang out with friends, or seek mental health support. We hear stories about lived experiences with mental health challenges every day.

If you feel called to support change toward making Mental Health care accessible to youth this World Mental Health Day, consider donating to us. Link in bio.

🧡 Yesterday, our team wore orange in recognition of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

We stand in remembrance of the children who never returned home, honour Survivors and their families, and reaffirm our commitment to ongoing learning, reflection, and reconciliation.

🧡

🧡 Today, on the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we honour the children who never returned home, the Survivors of residential schools, and the families and communities who continue to carry the impacts of this history.

Throughout September, youth across our hubs have engaged in activities that encouraged learning, reflection, creativity, and connection. From exploring Anishinaabemowin words and Indigenous-inspired art, music, and recipes to contributing to artwork and meaningful conversations, youth have been taking time to deepen their understanding of Indigenous histories, cultures, and communities.

Reconciliation is an ongoing journey that calls on all of us to listen, learn, reflect, and take action. Today, we encourage our community to continue that journey and to honour the strength, resilience, and contributions of Indigenous Peoples.
