Supporting a Mentally Healthy Kelowna
We are overwhelmed by the community support for the SHOPPERS LOVE. YOU. Run for Women Kelowna. With your generosity and that of Shoppers Drug Mart’s donation of an additional $10 per participant, $65,000 was raised for Women’s Wellness Programs at CMHA Kelowna! Thank you to all the runners and volunteers for getting out to #GETLOUD and #GetActive for women’s mental and physical health. Stay tuned for the 2019 run date!
An innovative model of care that’s supporting Kelowna’s youth is having considerable impact. Since opening its doors in September 2017, 900 youth have visited Foundry Kelowna and for most, this is the first time they are seeking help.
“Foundry Kelowna is transforming the way youth and their families are getting help in our community,” says CMHA Kelowna Executive Director, Shelagh Turner. “Now, youth don’t have to ask where to go to get help, they just need to walk through the doors and we can provide the counselling and services they need.”
