Front Line Hero Appreciation

We are all aware of the impact COVID-19 has had on our communities. That impact includes negative effects on mental health  - among those most affected are our Front Line workers - not just those in the medical field - but also law enforcement, firefighters, care home workers, grocery store clerks, crisis line volunteers and many others. They face this pandemic head-on, day after day, and that pressure can have a profound impact on their Mental Health. 

The Front Line Hero Appreciation initiative is a way to offer a Front Line worker a simple but profound experience that will help relieve stress in a safe and therapeutic environment. 

Through a unique partnership between Community Foundations, Canadian Mental Health, and some talented horse-assisted therapists, your donation of $75 allows us to offer one session to one special front line hero. 

Nominate someone you know, or leave it up to our team of Front Line Hero Appreciation organizers to select someone who could benefit from a thank you session!
