on June 29, 2018
Front Door 2016

Our Front Door (1770 King St. E.) parking lot is being resurfaced in sections which will greatly reduce parking availability, including Front Door Walk-in services on Wednesdays and Saturdays. If there are no parking spots available, visitors may use the Eastwood Collegiate parking lot during this period. Please contact us (519-749-2932) if you have accessibility concerns (including mobility, strollers, difficulty walking on uneven surfaces) and we will make special arrangements. Thank you for your patience!

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
This Tuesday marks the beginning of the holy month of Ramadan. To those of you celebrating, we wish you and your loved ones a blessed and generous Ramadan. Ramadan Kareem!
This year marks 30 years of Black History Month in Canada, with the theme “Honouring Black Brilliance Across Generations — From Nation Builders to Tomorrow’s Visionaries.” This theme reflects the enduring impact of Black Canadians both past, present, and future, and recognizes the resilience, creativity, and leadership that continue to strengthen our communities. 💛 Throughout February, we’ll be sharing local organizations to support and community events where we can come together in celebration, reflection, and continued learning. #BlackHistoryMonth
What an inspiring way to close out the month. 💜💛 This week we had a special Recognition Ceremony for students finishing Semester 1 of 2025–2026! We’re so proud of the incredible youth at our Children’s Mental Health Centre who have shown strength, growth and resilience throughout the year. Congratulations to each and every one of you and here’s to all the amazing things still ahead! ✨ #StarlingCommunityServices #StarlingMentalHealthServices #WaterlooRegion #KidsMentalHealth
