HOPE Brant

Thank You, Brant Mental Health Solutions 💙

A huge thank you Emily for organizing the donation drive, to Brant Mental Health Solutions, along with their generous clients, for collecting donations throughout the month of May in support of our WeCare Program.

For the past 20 years, WeCare has been providing comfort, dignity, and connection to individuals receiving care on the mental health unit at Brantford General Hospital. Every Friday morning, two trained peer support volunteers visit the unit, offering peer support and distributing hygiene kits and socks to patients. Many people arrive at the hospital with few or no personal belongings, making these items greatly appreciated during a difficult time.

We are incredibly grateful to Brant Mental Health Solutions for their ongoing partnership and commitment to our community. They have been strong supporters of H.O.P.E. Brant, including serving as a major sponsor of our annual Walk for HOPE. Their generosity continues to make a meaningful difference in the lives of so many.

Our WeCare Program relies entirely on donations, and we are always in need of:
• Deodorant
• Travel-sized shampoo and conditioner
• Travel-sized body wash
• New socks

To donate, please contact Sandy at [email protected] or Joanne at [email protected].

Thank you for caring...because WeCare. 🌻

WALK & TALK begins TOMORROW!

Let's step into something good!

We are a welcoming walking group in Brantford for adults living with mental health challenges. This program combines light exercise, fresh air, and supportive conversation in a relaxed, understanding environment.

We’ll explore local trails, enjoy nature, share real conversations, and maybe even laugh a little along the way. Because healing doesn’t always happen in big leaps, sometimes it happens one step at a time.

Wednesdays at 11:00 am
20 Darling St. Brantford

Everyone Welcome!

Come walk with us and boost your mood!

Let’s breathe in the fresh air, step out of isolation, and move forward together.

Sometimes the bravest thing you can do…is take the first step.
