This Movember, Waypoint is shining a light on men’s mental health with our “Man Up for Mental Health” campaign - a simple but powerful way to remind men in our community that they’re not alone and that it’s okay to talk about mental health.
Here’s how you can take part:
- Write it down: write short messages of encouragement or advice on Post-it notes, for example, “You don’t have to face it alone” or “Talking helped me heal.” (This is open to you, your colleagues and teammates)
- Share your photo: Take a group or individual photo holding your Post-its.
- Post and tag us: Share your photo on your social media channels and tag Waypoint
- Facebook: WaypointCentreForMentalHealthCare
- Instragram: WaypointCentre
- LinkedIn: WaypointCentreForMentalHealthCare
- Or send it to us: Share your message anonymously and we’ll proudly share them on Waypoint’s channels throughout Movember.
Every note, every post, and every message helps break down stigma and encourages open conversations about men’s mental health. Together, we can make a difference.
Thank you for helping us support men in our community to live healthier, happier, and more connected lives.
A Veteran’s Journey of Recovery
Healing the Invisible Wounds
When Canadian veteran Andrew Shields came to Waypoint, decades of trauma and alcohol use had taken their toll. Through compassion, expert care, and therapy, he found a new path forward — and a new purpose helping others heal.
Andrew’s powerful story reminds us that “manning up” isn’t about staying silent — it’s about reaching out, finding support, and reclaiming hope.
