Our story…
Mental health affects all of us.
We all know someone who’s struggling, it might even be you. Getting support shouldn’t be hard. There is hope. #HopeMovesUs2025
This year, our team is walking and running in Road2Hope to raise $7,000 so more people in our community can access the mental health care they need, when they need it.
“The change of tone in the voice of a first-time caller is so satisfying. The audible shift from stress to relief is obvious by the end of intake conversation. It’s so good to know we can make a difference right from the start.” - Elisabeth DiFrancesco, Intake Staff Member
That’s the impact your donation can have.
Therapy can be life changing, but cost is often the biggest barrier.
Too many people are left waiting, or forced to go without.
By donating today, you help break down those barriers and make sure no one is turned away because they can’t afford care.
Every dollar raised goes directly to Shalem Mental Health Network, an inclusive, faith-based nonprofit offering low-barrier therapy right here in Hamilton.
We believe everyone deserves access to mental health support.
Walk with us. Give what you can. Help us bring hope.
Donate now. Let’s do this together.
