Organiser's Description
Little Steps, Big Impact: Walk for Kids' Mental Health!This May 4th, 2025, lace up for Starling’s (formerly Lutherwood) annual Steps for Kids fundraising event and take a stand for children's mental health. Did you know that over 70% of mental health challenges start in childhood? Kids between the ages of 6 and 18 are at the highest risk of developing long-term challenges that can shape their futures. For many children at Starling’s Children’s Mental Health Centre, some as young as six, their struggles are already weighing heavy – and without timely care, their futures are uncertain. But it doesn’t have to be this way. Early support can make all the difference – providing the care that can lay the foundation for a brighter, healthier future. Your participation in Steps for Kids directly helps Starling Community Services continue offering essential mental health care to children and youth in need. Every dollar raised supports life-changing programs, from our Children’s Mental Health Centre to Safe Haven Youth Services. Join us in walking for these kids – because their care can’t wait. Register now and be part of something extraordinary. Together, we can make a real difference, one step at a time.Event: Sunday, May 4th
