🌻 Join us in the sunflowers! 🌻

We're grateful to be part of Kadylack Farm Sunflower Walk on Saturday, August 1 as they dedicate the day to supporting CMHA Huron Perth.

Take a stroll through the beautiful sunflower fields, spend time with the people you care about, and take a moment to slow down and reconnect. Mental health is just as important as physical health, and even small moments of connection and being outdoors can make a difference.

A big thank you to Kadylack Farm for choosing to support local organizations and for helping raise awareness that it's okay to ask for help. 💛

We hope to see you there!

🌻 Walk. Connect. Be Inspired.

🌻 Something Special Is Happening in the Sunflowers! 🌻

At Kadylack Farm, our sunflower field is about so much more than beautiful photos. It’s a place to slow down, connect with the people you love, breathe deeply, and remember that mental health matters at every age. 💛

This year, we’re proud to host a week of special events supporting wellness, community, and local organizations that make a difference:

🐾 July 30 – Doggy Day
Bring your four-legged best friend for a walk through the sunflowers! Dogs have an incredible way of lifting our spirits.

💛 July 31 – Friendship Day in the Field
Celebrate the people who brighten your life. Tag a friend and make new memories together.

🩵 August 1 – CMHAHP Day in the Sunflowers
Supporting the Canadian Mental Health Association and reminding everyone that it’s okay to ask for help.

💚 August 2 – Family Day with Huron-Perth Centre
A day to laugh, play, connect, and celebrate all families..

💜 August 3 – Tanner Steffler Foundation Day
Honouring Tanner’s legacy by supporting youth/youth adult mental health and encouraging hope for the next generation.

🧠 August 4 – Concussion Awareness Day
Raising awareness about brain health, recovery, and the importance of supporting those on their healing journey.

🌿 August 5 – Wellspring Day
Join Lisa at 11:00 a.m. for a peaceful walking meditation among the sunflowers. Pause. Breathe. Be present.

Whether you’re 6 or 96, everyone deserves moments of peace, connection, and joy. We hope our sunflower field becomes a place where smiles are shared, conversations begin, memories are made, and hearts feel just a little lighter.

Come walk with us. 🌻
Walk. Connect. Be Inspired.

💛 Thank you for supporting local organizations that care for the mental health and well-being of our community—one sunflower at a time.

Healthy coping skills can make a big difference. 💚

Our 5-week virtual Youth Wellness Group is now accepting referrals! Open to youth ages 14–18 across Southwest Ontario. Sessions will be held on Microsoft Teams, so participants will need access to stable internet and a private space.

Youth can self-refer or be referred by a professional. See the graphic for dates and details, and email [email protected] to refer.

Mental health and addiction affect more people than most of us realize. We asked our team one simple question: What do you wish people knew? Their answers are honest, compassionate, and worth hearing.💚

What do you wish more people understood? Share your thoughts in the comments.

A little creativity goes a long way!

These beautiful birdhouses were handcrafted by a client and brought to life by participants in our Pieces of Us Art Group with their own creative designs.

They’ll soon be displayed in our supportive housing programs, at our office, and throughout the community — spreading a little colour and joy wherever they go.

A big thank you to everyone who helped make this project happen! 🐦🎨

What are Red Flag Laws?

In Canada, Red Flag Laws (formally known as emergency prohibition orders) allow someone to apply to a court to temporarily remove fi****ms and other weapons from a person who may pose a safety risk to themselves or others.

They are designed to create time and space for support during a crisis and can play an important role in su***de prevention. Research has found that temporarily restricting access to fi****ms during a crisis can reduce su***de deaths.

Learn more about how Red Flag Laws work and download free resources, including a guide, poster, and postcard: www.cmha.ca/redflaglaws/

If someone is in immediate danger, call 9-1-1. If you or someone you know is struggling with thoughts of su***de, call or text 9-8-8, anytime.
