Community outreach
THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMUNITY SUPPORT!
September 30th marked the inaugural YES, I CAN! mental health conference for girls across the region aged 12-14. We had more than 120 parents and kids attend to learn how to work through the tough stuff girls face every day. See the gallery below for a sneak peak of an inspirational day thanks to our amazing speakers, sponsors and volunteers. SEPT. 30, 2023

Don't Be Too Quick To Judge!
Often we need more grace for others. We need a broader understanding of the challenges others have endured.
I firmly believe that we each must find a way to help others in whatever measure we can.
If not you, who then?
Mental Health Crisis
“4 minutes”
“4 minutes” was inspired by a conversation I had with Shannon The Rocket, on one of my morning walks.
“4 minutes” refers to the time it has been suggested that many people on the street can stay focused, due to
drug-induced states.
My purpose in sharing these stories is simply to introduce you to human beings living “less than” lives. Real people, most Londoners have never met and truthfully don’t want to meet. But we, the London community, have a devastating problem. Whether you ignore it or not, I encourage you to listen to these words before judging.
But let's begin with some tips on how to help those in need.
It was because of Liam I felt compelled to learn more about my neighbours. I haven't seen him in months. I'm afraid to know his status. https://bit.ly/3NIyMx4
Sadly Liam died on our streets. My heart is broken for a young man and his family. He changed my life.
