It provides education and support to caregivers and family members of individuals with mental health concerns. The program supports approximately 250 individuals annually, helping them learn how to better support their loved ones and themselves, according to a press release.

“We understand that mental health concerns are at an all-time high in our community, and we recognize the heavy burden this has placed on caregivers of loved ones with mental health issues,” said Jack Veitch, CMHA HKPR manager of community engagement and education. “Programs like our 'Journeying Together' program are more necessary now than ever.”

“It is so important for individuals experiencing a mental health concern to have a strong support system,” said Kevan Herod, Herod Financial Services CEO. “Journeying Together helps sustain the people who love and support their family member, friend or loved one who is having challenges. We are so blessed to be able to help the CMHA deliver this important service.”

“The Herods continue to lead the way in supporting the mental health of caregivers in our community,” said Veitch. “Their on-going generous support has been instrumental in the success of the program and has ensured that families are able to receive essential mental health care.“
