Heartache2Hope's Second Annual Walk2Remember
BRINGING OUR COMMUNITY TOGETHER FOR CONNECTION AND REMEMBRANCE!
Join us on Saturday, June 17th from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at Oakville’s Bronte Heritage Waterfront Park for Heartache2Hope's 5k Walk2Remember. This year's Walk2Remember provides the important opportunities to build community, commemorate out loved ones lost to suicide, raise awareness and fundraise for Heartache2Hope. We encourage you to invite your friends and family to walk with you!
All proceeds will help fund our suicide loss support services, including our Closed and Open Support Groups, Individual Grief Counselling and Peer Support Programs, Specialized Trauma Therapy, HopeLine, Wellness Activities, and services for children and youth, which are all offered free of charge to the community!
A bit about what we do:
Halton-based Heartache2Hope is the only organization in Ontario providing a comprehensive program of supportive services aimed at reducing the impact and long-term effects of a suicide loss. To strengthen grievers' resilience and reengagement in life, our Professional and Peer, Individual and Group, support services help individuals with the effects of trauma and the complicated grieving process after a suicide loss. We promote renewed psychological wellbeing through trauma and grief education, teaching coping strategies, emotional support, social connection, professional counselling and peer support.
Between our launch in 2014 and the end of 2022, almost 1000 unique individuals accessed our services. We have responded to more than 1040 inquiries, supported 277 individuals in our 12-week Closed Support Groups, hosted more than 1010 attendees at our semi-monthly Open Support Groups and more than 450 attendees at our new Wellness Workshops and Activities, and provided more than 2500 Individual Counselling, Trauma Therapy and Peer Support hours for 300 individuals. We do not charge for our services to allow accessibility to everyone in need.
