Run for Women - CMHA Waterloo Wellington

The Run for Women, brought to you by the LOVE YOU by Shoppers Drug Mart program – Waterloo 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.

When you participate in the Run for Women – Waterloo you are telling the women in your life and community they are not alone, recovery is possible and we’re in this together.

Studies have shown that women are three times more likely than men to suffer from depression, and one in four women will experience some form of depression in their lifetime. This need is being addressed by CMHA Waterloo Wellington so that the women in our region are better supported.

To begin fundraising you will need to be a registered participant.

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.
