Mental health program for parents honours young woman lost to suicide

A Toronto husband and wife who lost their daughter to suicide have founded an organization aimed at helping families cope with mental illness...

The walk is a symphony of families, people with lived experience, mental health providers, organizations, entertainers, mindfulness practitioners, and educators. Everyone is brought together as one, along the historic Sunnyside Boardwalk in Toronto, to share a mindful walk of awareness  and celebrate that together we are making waves for those that struggle and their families. Last year's walk included music, speeches, a mindfulness bridge walk, mindfulness meditation on the beach and awareness passport activities.

The theme of this year’s walk is "Families for Youth" - highlighting the powerful role the family plays in treating and preventing Emotion Dysregulation.
