Lutherwood Caring People. Strengthing Lives.

Children's Mental Health Week (May 2-6)


Lutherwood has launched two initiatives as part of this year's awareness building efforts for Children's Mental Health Week.

Helping Your Teen Cope Seminar

On Thursday May 5, Lutherwood is holding its third of four free children's mental health seminars at St Benedict's Catholic Secondary School Lecture Hall, starting at 7:00. This seminar helps parents understand the teenage stage of life and offers effective parenting strategies to enhance development and manage difficult issues. Go to our Speakers' Series webpage for more information.

Radio Advertisements

Working with partners to break down the stigma of mental health is important. This year, kidsLINK and Lutherwood teamed up to produce two radio advertisements promoting Children's Mental Health Week. Sofia Hostetler and Bekah Dueck provided writing and two of the voices featured in the spots. The ads will air three times a day on CHYM FM, KIX FM, and 570 NEWS during Children's Mental Health Week.

Join us in celebrating Penny, Housing Support Coach at Lutherwood, who was recently awarded with the Christine Wilson Outstanding Housing Worker Award at the Region's National Housing Day event last week and received a heartfelt testimonial from a past client. "Penny is one of those caring people. She worked continuously to make sure I had all the help I needed to acquire a job, to better myself. She would even show up just to check on my health and well-being, or even just to chat. No one has ever done that for me." Thank you, Penny, for your commitment to making a difference in our community. #WaterlooRegion #CommunitySupport
Large classroom sizes lack critical support for students with mental health challenges. Lutherwood's school program, features small class sizes and specialized support like music therapy, ensuring the best possible care. Waitlists for these vital mental health services are higher than we have ever seen before. We need your help to sustain this work and reach more children in Waterloo Region. Your gift will deliver timely and targeted care to children during their moments of greatest need.
