YMHC is launching a “Heart to Heart” campaign in January 2024.
Knit, sew, or crochet hearts and send them to YMHC, 51 Stuart Street, Hamilton, Ontario, L8L 1B5.
The Sewing Hope Project will add sewn hearts and messages of support.
Hearts with messages of support will be sent to students who are absent from school due to mental health challenges. For too long, we as a society have remained silent when a student is struggling with their mental health and not able to access and manage an education. "Out of sight, out of mind" is no longer.
We need the support of schools to communicate this message to students. Students can request hearts. Schools can also request hearts and messages of support.

There are many ways that people can contribute to youth mental health support, change, and action. We hope that this campaign will become a national campaign to support people of all ages.
