This holiday season, 32 students at All Saints Catholic High School have come together to make a difference through our non-profit business initiative, All Saints Health. Our mission is to spread joy and foster community through our carefully designed and curated baskets filled with festive and thoughtful items that anyone would enjoy receiving this holiday season. As a team, we have hand-crafted all our products, bringing together unique skills and creativity to the process, ensuring high-quality results that we are proud to share with you. When you buy a basket, all the proceeds go to the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO) to help families experience the magic of the holidays. 

Our class initiative started when we learned about the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Together, we chose a goal we are deeply passionate about: good health and well-being. We believe in improving healthcare and the well-being of people because Healthcare is an essential and fundamental right. Your contributions help to fund lifesaving treatments, innovative research, and critical resources that provide comfort to families during challenging times. By supporting the CHEO we are helping to provide essential healthcare services and promote both mental and physical wellness in our community because every child and family deserves to face the holidays surrounded by care, support, and love. When you purchase a basket you are not just giving a gift, but you are also encouraging students to create change, well also contributing to a healthier community. 

We invite you to join us in making this holiday season brighter for everyone by buying a basket from All Saints Health, or donating to our cause. Together we can spread hope, one basket at a time.

Supporting Mental Health: Why It Matters

As we try to overcome daily life's challenges, mental health is often the last thing anybody thinks about, yet it impacts every aspect of our well-being. From handling stress to interacting with others, mental health plays a major role in maintaining a balanced and fulfilling lifestyle. This holiday season, let's take a minute to reflect on the importance of supporting mental health, especially in children and families.

Why Mental Health Matters

Mental health is important because it affects how we think, feel, and act. It also helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make choices. Unfortunately, struggles with mental health are on the rise, such as anxiety, and depression, and trauma-especially in children these days. These struggles can deeply affect their daily lives, relationships, and happiness.

By investing in mental health, we are helping people to deal with challenges, build resilience, and live a healthier, happier life. The support for mental health not only brings immediate relief but also equips people with the tools they need to thrive long into the future.

The Impact of Supporting Mental Health

It is only supportive mental health services, counseling, or whatever kind of care that creates real and lasting change. Given resources, children can learn how to cope with stressors, overcome emotional challenges, and lay the groundwork to forge a bright future for themselves.

Your support can make a real difference in the lives of those who are struggling. Funding mental health services helps ensure that children and families receive the care they need when they need it most. Together, we can create an environment where mental health is prioritized, and everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

Why We Need to Care

Mental health affects us all, and it's something we should all prioritize. This holiday season, let's focus on giving the gift of mental well-being through supporting mental health programs, having open conversations, or simply offering a kind word to someone in need.

Together, we can make a lasting difference by coming together in support of mental health and making sure no one faces their struggles alo
