Why Give

Imagine a community where all children, youth and families are empowered to thrive through timely mental health care. With your help, this can happen right here in Alberta.

You can help us can reach more kids and break down barriers to mental health care as we expand services online and to more communities across Alberta.

Mental illness affects around 1.2 million Canadian children and youth. By age 25, that number rises to 7.5 million (about one in five Canadians). These are not just statistics – they are our loved ones, friends and neighbours.

With your support, our unique and promising model of mental health care can reach more children facing mental illness. Together, let’s level up for kids’ mental health!
