💛 Mental health is health.

This World Mental Health Day, we’re reminded that caring for our mental health is just as important as caring for our physical health.

Support each other. Take care of your mind. Talk about it. Be kind to yourself.

You are not alone, and it’s okay not to be okay.

Let’s build a world where mental health matters for all.

🧡 We wore orange today to remember and honour.

Our members and staff came together to mark the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

Every CHILD Matters.

09/30/2026

Today, we recognize the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

It is a day to honour Survivors of residential schools, the children who never returned home, and the families and communities affected by this history.

It is also an opportunity for all of us to listen, learn and reflect on our shared responsibility to reconciliation.

We encourage our community to take time to learn, reflect and continue the conversation.

Every Child Matters!

There may be changes, new responsibilities and moments when you need support too.

Path to Resilience is a FREE online workshop for family members of people living with aphasia in Ontario. It offers a chance to pause, explore your own needs, connect with others on a similar journey, and learn strategies to build resilience and find hope.

You don’t have to navigate the care partner journey alone.
