What is the Walk for Mental Health?
Walk for Mental Health is a community-centered event to raise awareness for youth mental health. We have, and will continue to support Foundry Kelowna.
Why should you join?
Youth mental health has been decreasing over the past few years. Following the pandemic, it has been increasingly difficult for youth to navigate social life, technology, and education. Due to the high capacities of high schools, many students can fall under the radar and may lack the resources available to them through their school. That is why it is necessary to direct youth to other resources they can access in their community.
Last year...
Thank you to everyone who participated, donated, supported, and shared our event in May of 2023! We wouldn't be here doing this again without the support of everyone last year.
At the 2023 Walk for Mental Health, we raised $6,438.67 for Foundry Kelowna. We are so grateful to have such a remarkable organization to donate to.
We had a variety of entertainment, food, and activities in attendance, such as food trucks, inflatables, Staff vs. Students volleyball games, camping games, PADS Dogs, water balloon toss at MBSS staff, and more!
