Celebrating the Ripple Effect of Couch of Hope

Join us for an unforgettable evening as we celebrate five years of the Ripple Effect Couch of Hope has created across Nova Scotia and the difference accessible mental health counselling can make in the lives of individuals, families, and communities.

The Couch of Hope Gala: The Ripple Effect brings our community together to celebrate the interns, supervisors, volunteers, board members, sponsors, partners, and supporters who make this work possible.

Because healing does not stop with one person. As our Founder says, “The person who starts the ripple rarely sees how far it reaches.”

For five years, our community has helped create ripples of care, compassion, and hope. Now, we’re coming together to help those ripples reach further.

Hope Reaches Further

Help us raise funds for an accessible space where healing can begin.

An Evening to Celebrate

This Black Tie event will bring our community together for an evening of connection and celebration of what can happen when a community comes together to Help Hope Reach Further. When we reach out, we make mental health more accessible and we create a ripple of hope.

Guests can look forward to:

  • A sit-down dinner

  • Cash bar

  • Penny table auction

  • Silent auction

  • Photo booth

  • Inspiring guest speakers

  • Dancing

  • And more!

We look forward to celebrating with you and continuing to create ripples of hope throughout our community and across the province.
