Fact: One of every five Canadians will experience a form of mental illness at some point in their lives.

Fact: Everyone of us has a family member, friend or colleague who will be affected by some kind of mental illness.

Fact: Our unique approach addresses the underlying causes of problems threatening mental well-being. We identify emerging social issues and needs through research and develop and distribute proactive programs for communities across Canada.

Research proves that:

  • A strong and healthy parent child relationship is key to raising resilient, productive and mentally healthy children.
  • Families spend less time together than ever before.
  • 25% of all children enter adult life with significant emotional, behavioral, academic or social problems.
  • After accidents, suicide is the most frequent cause of death in young people in Canada.
  • Stress in the workplace is a growing issue, directly causing $50 billion in annual lost productivity and seriously affecting family life.
  • Canada is one of the most culturally diverse nations on earth but there are very few customized mental health services that newcomers embrace.
