CHU Sainte-Justine Foundation

TOTAL FUNDS RECEIVED TO DATE

$957,940

Thanks to the Sainte-Justine team, and the support I received for my physical and mental health, I was able to keep a positive outlook when I was sick and going through cancer treatment. I wouldn’t be who I am today without their support.

Program overview

New Program for 2025: Integration of AI solutions in the trajectory of mental health care

This program aims to disrupt existing barriers by improving the accessibility, quality, and equity of mental health care for all children. It will rely on concrete artificial intelligence (AI) solutions to free up clinical time, standardize practices, identify complex cases earlier, and better coordinate multidisciplinary treatment.

Technology-supported training and observation rooms

CHU Sainte-Justine has created seven new rooms for therapy and three for observation, all with audiovisual equipment and other technology that lets supervisors discreetly evaluate and guide the training of the next generation of mental health leaders. The rooms let early-career professionals enhance their practice, ultimately benefiting patients.

How Family of Support Funding Has Helped

Funds provided by Family of Support have helped to:

  • Support care and training simultaneously
  • Make capital improvements that will benefit patients for many years
  • Advance the entire hospital’s conversations and policies on telehealth norms of practice.
