The Run for Women will be benefiting the Canadian Mental Health Association Waterloo Wellington, inspiring and supporting women to achieve the quality of life they desire. 1 in 5 Canadian women will experience a serious mental health crisis in their lifetime. CMHA WW provides a full care system for those with addictions, mental health or developmental needs. Women access 71% of our adult programs. Over 50% of our crisis services are for Women. Together we can provide hope to women and raise funds for better mental health care.
Your funds will provide hope and community through a skills program for women in crisis and high-risk of suicide. We will hire mental health and trauma counsellors to provide immediate counselling to women at Guelph-Wellington Women in Crisis and Sexual Assault Support Centre of Waterloo Region at their time of crisis. Our Senior's program will be expanded to provide team-based care to high-risk women.
