Lutherwood Staff Try Their Hands At Restaurant Work


September 9, 2011 - Lutherwood staff will try their hand at restaurant work (bussing tables, assisting the hostess, kitchen clean up, table service, greeting guests) to earn a donation from Terry Voulcaridis of Country Boy Restaurant. Terry has offered to donate all the proceeds of his sales to Lutherwood’s children’s mental health programs. Our goal is to fill all 267 seats and raise between $3,000 and $4,000.

Kindness grows when it is shared. 🌸 Staff at our Children's Mental Health Centre wore pink to #sprinklekindness and stand up against bullying! Pink shirt day is an important day for many of our youth, both at our Children's Mental Health Centre and Safe Haven Youth Services. By planting seeds of kindness, we can create a brighter future for children and youth in our communities, free from bullying —not just on Pink Shirt Day, but every day! 💕 #PinkShirtDay #StopBullying #BullyingAwareness #BullyingPrevention #ChildrensMentalHealth #ChildrenAndYouthMentalHealth
Here's why wearing pink matters for youth at Safe Haven. 🩷 Every year on the last Wednesday of February, communities across Canada and around the world wear pink to take a stand against bullying. At Safe Haven Youth Services, this day is especially important. Many of the young people who come through our doors have experienced bullying. Pink Shirt Day reminds us that kindness is powerful. When we speak up, support each other, and choose to be kind, we help create a safer world for young people. 💗 Swipe through to learn how Safe Haven supports youth in our community. 💗 Share this post to help raise awareness of antibullying 💡If you are a young person up until the age of 18, or a parent/caregiver of a child under 18 who requires additional help, contact Front Door to Child and Youth Mental Health at 519-749-2932 or visit www.frontdoormentalhealth.com. #PinkShirtDay #StopBullying #SafeHavenYouthServices #YouthSupport #ChildrensMentalHealth
