On the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and Orange Shirt Day, we acknowledge that commemoration events can bring up difficult emotions. If you or someone you know needs support, know that help is available. In that spirit, we share this list of mental health resources. You are not alone.

Today, we honor the children who never made it home, the Survivors of residential schools, and their families.

Children are at the heart of this day. Every child deserves to grow up safe, loved, and free to embrace their culture. As we wear orange, we remember that “Every Child Matters” past, present, and future.

Let’s listen, learn, and work together toward a future where every child can thrive.

Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the Jewish year, begins at sundown this evening. It is a time for reflection, atonement, and renewal.

Since 2021, Jillie has been helping kids feel safe and supported at Crossroads. She’s trained to assist with self-soothing, emotional regulation, and social skills, all while offering a friendly face (and the occasional lick).

This week, your support made a real difference. Thanks to our community's generosity, we were able to provide backpacks and school supplies to Crossroads Children's Mental Health Centre; Réseau d'intégration des Femmes immigrantes en Situation Minoritaire; Ottawa Chinese Community Service Centre - 渥太華華人社區服務中心 ; Immigrant Women Services Ottawa; CHEO; Corkstown Transitional Housing Program and Ottawa Community Immigrant Services Organization to help prepare their families for the upcoming school year. 🖍️🎒📚

Despite this incredible progress, many families are still waiting for support. With your help, we can continue reaching students in need and make sure no child starts school without the supplies they need.

Together, we can help set students up for success ✏️📖🍎

Thanks to today's IHO champions, a mom staying in shelter can access mental health care for her child and parenting support for herself — without waitlists, without an onerous intake process, and without having to figure out transportation to an office in the community.

Three times a week, we have the privilege of hosting therapists and child-and-youth workers from Crossroads Children's Mental Health Centre here at Interval House of Ottawa. Their care, expertise and compassion are invaluable resources we can now offer any parent staying with us, and it's all thanks to the Growing Up Safe program.

For our shelter’s 50th anniversary, we asked 50 members of the community to share one concrete action they are taking to:

💜 Help support survivors
🤝 Promote healthy relationships
⛔ Challenge violence
🏠 Or contribute to safer communities.

More about today's champion:

Crossroads Children's Mental Health Centre is committed to helping children, youth, and families build healthier, more connected lives through evidence-based mental health and community support. Through Growing Up Safe, Crossroads works alongside Ottawa shelters to provide specialized, trauma-informed support that helps children and caregivers recover from the impacts of gender-based violence and build lasting stability.

Here's to a great year ahead!
