Living the Gospel by the promoting mental health of kids

Jake wrote a story in his grade 7 class that made his principal worry he might harm himself. The principal called his mother and recommended she take him to see a counsellor at Catholic Community Services of York Region, a ShareLife-funded agency. While the boy was very quiet during the frst session, he eventually revealed his sadness and confusion about his parents’ divorce. As the counsellor helped Jake learn how other kids respond to a family breakup, he was relieved to fnd out his grieving was normal. Jake started to feel much better. By donating to ShareLife, you’re helping kids like Jake fnd healing and happiness.

Please make a sacrificial gift to ShareLife through your parish or sharelife.org

Living the Gospel by helping young families succeed

Camila was attending programs at Rose of Sharon Services for Young Mothers when she and her daughter were kicked out of the family home. As counsellors helped her search for an affordable apartment, she became pregnant a second time. Despite these challenges, Camila attended every program available to her at Rose of Sharon. At the end of the year, she walked out a stronger woman with a plan to achieve the life she wants for herself and her daughters. Last year, at ShareLife-funded agencies that assist young mothers, over 1,000 clients like Camila received support for their new families.

Today is ShareLife Sunday.
