Local artist Jodi Afonso is on site today and tomorrow with her heartfelt “Pocket Hugs”, small resin hearts designed to be kept in your pocket as a reminder of love, hope, and connection. Inspired by her grandparents, Irene and Saul, Jodi created Pocket Hugs to “spread love, kindness, and positive messaging throughout our community.”
Jodi is also showcasing select artwork, with most proceeds generously donated back to the Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Foundation. If you’re nearby, stop by the lobby to say hello, pick up a Pocket Hug, and support local care.
Thank you, Jodi, for helping our community feel supported, one small hug at a time.

Last week, we came together as a Hospital community to shine light on mental illness, challenge stigma, and encourage open conversations. What an impactful week it was!
The Mental Health Awareness Committee created spaces for connection, education, and reflection. Here’s a quick recap of the week’s highlights:
Monday – Music, Mind and Mingle set the tone with live acoustic music and meaningful conversation from local guitarist, James Wilkinson.
Tuesday – Critical Incident Conversations with Psychological Associate, Sherri Capulak-Tinnes, offered insight into healing after experiencing high-stress events and supporting mental wellness.
Wednesday – Our Mental Health Expo brought together organizations to share information related to their resources and support networks.
Thursday – The Mental Illness Awareness Week Trivia Night tested our knowledge (and sparked laughter) while supporting our learning with mental illness. Congratulations to our winning team – Nahid Anee, Kristine Knauff, Erin DeGiacomo, Kim Gross, and Ashley Pitton.
Friday – We closed the week with Uncovering Mental Illness: Facts, Not Fiction, a pop-up trivia experience that challenged stereotypes and encouraged learning on the go.
The Mental Health Awareness Committee would like to thank all those that participated in our activities.
We look forward to seeing you at our next event!
