I can’t wait to go to Farm Friends each week. I love being outside, beautiful view, having support, loving my Farm Friends family. The fresh air and exercise feel good. And I’m being supported by people who have similar family mental health problems”

Not only does this program reassure my daughters who live in another province my safety, but it has become a focal part and highlight of my day.
Good Morning Program Participant
I wouldn’t be here it if weren’t for a Crisis Line Worker willing to pick up the phone at 2 am when I didn’t think I was worth it. Just by being there they reminded me that I was.”

When you have a mental illness, you tend to isolate. With peer support, there’s a common ground to connect and relate. We’ve all been there, struggling with mental illness, but are well enough to support others.
