Impact 360: Transformative change fueled by the community
In our journey towards building a thriving and interconnected community, we need to grasp the essence of mental health and its relevance to the multifaceted challenges that many in our community face.
Mental health is more than simply a state of well-being. Mental health is impacted when someone is experiencing homelessness, or struggling to provide nourishment for their children or suffering the impact of physical health challenges in the absence of a primary care physician.?
Mental health is a fundamental component of comprehensive care and it is the cornerstone of Impact 360, our 2023 CUPS Annual Report.?
We are witnessing the community rally together to support this focus on preventative mental health.? In August 2022, the Willow Park Golf and Country Club chose us as the recipient charity of their Willow Park Charity Golf Classic. This was an incredible launch to our fundraising efforts to support a massive capital project focused on community mental health. Other organizations joined in and the government stepped forward to match the support. We are united in our pursuit of solutions and collectively moving towards a brighter future.?
This unity is fueled by inspired collaborations through the community and takes centre stage within our recently reopened Welcome to CUPS space. This environment is thoughtfully designed with a trauma-informed approach, fostering our integrated care model and laying the groundwork for transformation in a secure and nurturing setting. Whether individuals seek primary healthcare, addiction treatment, family development programs, or assistance in securing housing, CUPS is ready to accompany clients on their transformative journeys.

Transformative change begins when someone first opens the door at CUPS. From the new private spaces for clients to share experiences with a care coordinator, to a ceremony space as a place of healing for many and an expanded mental health space…it’s all interconnected and tied back to integrated, preventative mental health care.
We don’t pretend to know someone’s story before they tell it. Every single individual that walks through our doors — and down the street — has their own unique experience, personal trauma and a private load they are carrying that could be weighing them down. Our role is not to pass judgment but to listen from a space of compassion and empathy. To be curious and ask questions. Through that we learn what happened to them and determine what success looks like for them. We are here to support them on that journey.?
The world has changed in the last several years. We’ve met unprecedented challenges head on and faced new realities as a community. But through our proactive approach to integrated care, we’ve also found an opportunity to highlight the true power of our community, to come together into a space of compassion and curiosity.?
360 degrees of impact…each and every day.
Hi there! This is such an important cause to support. Mental health truly does extend beyond just emotional well-being, and it's great to see efforts being made to address the various factors that can impact it. We will look into donating and spreading the word. Thanks for sharing this opportunity to make a difference!
