$101,000 raised by Hockey Helps the Homeless

We want to thank Hockey Helps the Homeless for being a game changer and raising $101,000 this year for five local homeless support charities, including Lutherwood's Safe Haven. Thank you for making a difference in the lives of the estimated 3,500 people who will experience homelessness in Kitchener-Waterloo this year!

Hockey Helps the Homeless is an annual tournament in Kitchener-Waterloo Region where men and women get a chance to play with hockey greats and raise funds to help the homeless in our community.

The Ontario government is investing $2.5 million each year to connect youth living in the Region of Waterloo to specialized mental health care where they need it, closer to home.

This investment will enable the creation of a new step-up step-down live-in treatment program that supports youth in their transition home from inpatient hospital or secure treatment care, to less intensive community-based services.

Grounding skills help us move our attention away from our thoughts and focus on our physical body or the world around us. One helpful way to practice grounding skills is by using our five senses!

If you have difficulty identifying distinct smells or tastes, there is a positive twist you can put on this exercise. After you go through the five things you see, four things you feel, and three things you hear, name two things that make you happy and one thing that is great about you!

For more on grounding skills and how to use them, check out our Children's Mental Health blog. Link in our bio.

"I volunteered at Lutherwood to help a friend and I fell in love with the organization and its mission. It feels like a big family and that is reflected in our work. I was able to refer friends to our services and they got the help they needed. I see every day how much we make a difference in people's lives and it is a privilege to be part of it."
