Finding a Path Forward

Publications · Friday, Jan 31, 2025

Life can change in an instant. That’s what happened to Safiya when her son passed away suddenly, leaving her to care for her seven-year-old granddaughter, Amina. Both were grieving deeply—Amina struggling to understand why her father was gone, and Safiya overwhelmed by her own sorrow while trying to be there for her grandchild.

Not knowing where to begin, Safiya turned to Camino. We know these moments are crucial. That's why our Wayfinding Program is here - to make accessing the supports as simple as they can be. Safiya took the brave first step, and our team was there to listen and connect her and Amina with the right supports.

Safiya found encouragement, understanding and community in our Grandparents Raising Grandchildren group, learning how to create a sense of safety and stability for Amina . Amina joined a group where she learned ways to manage her grief and handle big feelings.

Wayfinding is there to help individuals and families in Waterloo Region find the mental health services they need, when they need it. And now, with our enhanced website, people can explore services available to them, book appointments, and more – all with improved accessibility features such as language translation, font adjustments, and dark/light mode options.

Accessing mental health support should be simple and barrier-free. At Camino, we’re committed to ensuring everyone feels supported when taking that first step toward wellbeing. Whether you’re seeking guidance for yourself or a loved one, our resources are designed to meet you where you are and help you find the path forward.
