Sometimes it’s grief that won’t ease, a relationship under strain, or the feeling that you’re barely keeping up. You don’t have to be in crisis to need someone to talk to.

This World Mental Health Day, we’re thinking about what makes support possible: knowing where to turn, being listened to without judgment, and being able to afford care.

At Porchlight, we provide counselling and mental health support for people in Cambridge and North Dumfries. We see how much it matters to have space to talk honestly about what’s happening in your life.

If you’re considering support but aren’t sure where to start, call us at 519-621-5090. We can talk through your options and help you take the next step.

It has been a busy few days for our residents and Housing Coordinators. Our residents and staff were volunteering yesterday putting in an extra day of service, baking and making jam for the market, today again, residents were volunteering, serving at the Retired Teachers Luncheon at Wesley United Church. Others were volunteering with the Mennonite Central Committee Hub, helping with canning for humanitarian aid.
This included food, care items, Teachers packs and Dignity packs (reusable sanitary napkins) so the girls are able to go to school during their cycles.
“It was really touching, to see the lives that they help”.
We are thankful for these opportunities to give back to our communities.

National Day for Truth and Reconciliation is more than a single day; it is an ongoing, collective responsibility. Today, and every day, we hold space for truth, healing, and reflection.

The orange shirt is a symbol of the experiences of residential school survivors, inspired by Phyllis Webstad, who at six years old had her new orange shirt taken away on her first day at residential school. Her story is a microcosm of the harmful impacts of residential schools, including the stripping away of Indigenous identities, cultures, and connections.

Today is a time to deepen our understanding of the lasting impacts of residential schools on Indigenous communities and to recognize that reconciliation is an ongoing commitment that continues across Canada.
