We are honoured to collaborate with you on such an important expression of solidarity and unity. As a foundation, we are absolutely floored by the support around the world. With your help, we have raised just over $50,000 and are still going strong—raising funds that will go to Canadian families to get the support THEY need to help their loved ones struggling with emotion dysregulation and Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). |

WHY THIS WALK IS SO IMPORTANT TO US Funds raised will go to initiatives like the Family Connections™ Program. In 2019, Sashbear ran over 80 Family Connections™ groups. Overall, these groups reached 1,100 family members by teaching them the skills needed to reduce stress, increase empowerment and better support their loved ones on their mental health journey.
This year, with COVID-19, Sashbear has shifted its focus to online skills delivery—“alone, at home, and together”. Sashbear continues to shine bright in the mental health community, spreading the message of skills and hope through conference engagements and research projects all over the world.
"Without Sashbear, my family would be shattered in millions of pieces. I have learned to look at my loved one with new eyes. Sashbear has brought back love, tranquility and hope into our family!"
