CANADA’S CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL FOUNDATIONS

We’ve partnered with 13 local children’s hospital foundations across the country to fund and implement a diverse range of innovative child and youth mental health programs. These programs are working to decrease stigma, help more children and youth get the mental health support they need, while strengthening families. Each program has a regional focus addressing urgent needs within the communities they serve.

KIDS HELP PHONE

Our newest partnership with Kids Help Phone was announced in May, 2022 and supports two mental health programs designed with and for communities across Canada: RiseUp, an e-mental health support service for Black youth, and Finding Hope, an action plan to support Indigenous youth. These initiatives help connect equity-deserving youth across Canada to free, bilingual, 2/4 mental health services, like professional counselling, crisis response and online resources, as well as community-based engagement.
