Steps for Kids 2024

Join us at Steps for Kids '24 as we walk for Children's Mental Health in Waterloo Region!

Take a step towards brighter futures. This May 5th, 2024, we lace up our shoes and walk for Children's Mental Health at Lutherwood's annual Steps for Kids fundraising event.

Did you know over 70% of mental health challenges begin during childhood? Between the ages of 6 and 18, kids face the highest risk of developing long-term mental health challenges that can significantly impact their lives.

Helping kids at an early age is key - it can mean the difference between facing life-long challenges or laying a strong foundation for their future.

Little Steps, Big Impact.

Your support ensures Lutherwood can continue to provide children and youth with the vital mental health treatment and care they need, supporting their journey to brighter, healthier futures. From our Children's Mental Health Centre to Safe Haven Youth Services, every dollar raised contributes directly to providing crucial support when they need it most.

Whether you join us in-person or virtually, you're not just taking steps, you're taking a stand for the mental well-being of children in this community.

The impact doesn't stop there! By participating, you kick-start your spring fitness journey, nurturing your mental and physical well-being.

Register now and be a part of something extraordinary. Together, we can make a difference, one step at a time.
