Mental Health Week • May 4–10

Mental health challenges are common in Canada — not rare.

1 in 5 Canadians will face a significant mental health issue each year, and 1 in 3 will at some point in their lifetime.

The weight is not shared equally. Youth, Indigenous peoples, racialized communities, and those in rural or low-income settings often carry a heavier burden.

At the same time, while digital connection continues to grow, many are experiencing deeper loneliness.
Human presence still matters.

A simple check-in.
A listening ear.
A moment of real presence.

These small acts can make a real difference.

As a congregation, we are called to keep becoming a place where stigma has no home, where honesty is welcomed, and where no one has to walk alone.

If you are struggling in silence, please reach out. You don’t have to carry it by yourself.

You are welcome to connect with Jim, our minister.
