Mental Health Week 2022 has been kicked off in style! Thank you City of Brantford Mayor Kevin Davis and County of Brant Mayor Bailey for your support, to all our wonderful community partners, and to all of YOU who braved the drizzle and cool temps to get loud for mental health! Woodview is proud to be a part of the Brant Haldimand Norfolk Mental Health Week Planning Committe and thanks all our partners for their invaluable support.

Jen Brown Memorial Scholarship Presentation
Woodview Mental Health and Autism Services established a Memorial Scholarship Fund in loving memory of Jen Brown, a staff member, who advocated for others to be heard and accomplish their dreams.

Youth Fundraiser: Sensory Backpacks
Woodview’s youth engagement group, Fortitude Youth Initiative, worked hard on an exciting new project that will provide children and youth in the community with sensory backpacks to support mental wellness! We invite everyone to support them by sponsoring a backpack for children and youth in need! Suggested donation: $25 per backpack. Special thanks to The New Mentality, Value Village and Tailor Aide for contributing to the Sensory Backpack Project!
