In 2024 / 2025, we ran 149 events, attended by 1000+ people. Here’s what some of our attendees and facilitators had to say about their experience at HF events:
“[I enjoyed the] [r]elaxed, safe, atmosphere, friendly volunteer doing origami. I had a really good time & hope to be back. And, I found a book I was looking for in the hf library!”
“[It] was inspiring and fun – ‘specially cuz everything is very expensive in Toronto – being able to do [something] creative (that is not online) with other people is so nice.”
“[Hard Feelings] made it easy for us to provide our free climate emotion support to our community, when we had nowhere else to go. Hard Feelings sees and responds empathetically and robustly to unmet and underserved issues related to mental health and mental wellbeing.”
