This year’s 12 Days of Giving and Receiving Campaign is not only our way of raising the funds necessary to ensure everyone in our community has access to the programs and services they need to achieve good mental health, but is also a way of giving back to those who support CMHA YRSS by providing helpful mental health tips and resources.
Here’s a quick wrap up of everything we’ve shared over the past 12 days. Check out our advent calendar HERE.
Day One
Day one fell on Giving Tuesday; where we sent a video of why you should give your way.

Day Two
On day two of the giving and receiving campaign CMHA York and South Simcoe gave to you; self-care tips to help you the whole holiday through.

Day Three
On the third day of the giving and receiving campaign we asked you; to support MOBYSS and help the youth with what they’re going through. Check out this account of how a Peer Support Worker on the MOBYSS Team was able to virtually save a life, early on in the pandemic.
Day Four
On the fourth day of giving and receiving, we didn’t want you to be alone; don’t be afraid to pick up the phone! Learn more about our Supportive Telephone Counselling Line HERE.
Day Five
On the 5th day of our holiday campaign, we asked you; for a donation of only $25 to support a call or two.
Day Six
On the 6th day of Giving and Receiving, we’re giving a shoutout to those on the frontline; while you’re helping others, make sure that you don’t let your mental health decline. Check out our Mental Health Tips for Frontline Workers.
Day Seven
On day 7 of the giving and receiving campaign, we wanted to let you know that many youth are not alright; however your donation can help them to see hope amongst their fright.
Day Eight
Day 8 was here and we sent you some cheer, with ways to celebrate the holidays safely this year. Check out the tips here.
Day Nine
On day nine we told you that mental health is a family affair and asked you to help support groups that provide caregivers and families with a place to share.
We also shared our Tips for Living With Someone With Mental Illness During Physical Distancing.
Day Ten
Day 10 is here and it was music to your ears; with a Holiday Happiness Playlist to keep you dancing until the end of the year.
Day Eleven
The mental health of many of those across the community is extremely low; that’s why on Day 11 we hoped you’d let your kindness show.
Day Twelve
On Day number twelve, the campaign was through; check out this gratitude song and thanks so much to our community for all that you do.
