With Gratitude to Our Supporters at Sun Life
In October 2022, Sun Life and our organization launched a new three-year partnership aimed at strengthening support for the mental health needs of vulnerable children and youth in our community. We are deeply honoured to be collaborating with Sun Life through this partnership.
From the outset of our discussions, Sun Life embraced our vision for unification, embarking on this journey with us. Recognizing the unique challenges underserved youth face in accessing relevant wellbeing and mental health supports, Sun Life is determined to take steps to remove systemic barriers. They partnered with Camino Wellbeing + Mental Health to enhance our early intervention and prevention approach through four psycho-educational groups, as well as our OK2BME program.
Sun Life’s support ensures we can continue addressing our community’s growing mental health needs and better serve diverse ethnocultural communities more equitably by providing culturally relevant materials and content, removing barriers to access care, and enhancing capacity.
Through their support of our OK2BME program, we are able to expand support and services for 2SLGBTQIA+ children, teens, adults, and their families. We can strengthen wellbeing and foster belonging, while spreading awareness, allyship, and acceptance within our community.
Sun Life is invested in fostering connections and raising awareness about mental health services available in our community. We were thrilled to be welcomed as the Kitchener Rangers 2022-23 Goal Sponsor donation recipient, where every home game goal scored during the OHL season resulted in Sun Life donating an additional $50 to Camino. We celebrated the Rangers scoring over 150 goals. We were also honoured to participate in Sun Life’s Waterloo Pride Flag Raising Event and the Sunny & Proud Annual Celebration, both of which were led by Sun Life’s Employee Pride Network.
Thank you, Sun Life, for this meaningful partnership. Your support is making a lasting impact on the mental health and wellbeing of our community, and together, we are fostering a brighter and healthier future for all.
