Did you know that 1 in 5 kids in Ontario will face a mental health challenge? Picture a classroom of 25 students. Now imagine 5 of them silently battling anxiety, degression, or worse. That is thousands of children and teens struggling - often in silence. Many will not get the care they need.
Mental health isn't rare. It's real, and it starts young.
Our kids deserve better. Inspired to make a difference, my family and I are joining RBC's Race for the Kids to support youth mental health.
I am raising money for Sunnybrook's Family Navigation Project. This free service connects youth aged 11 to 29 experiencing mental health and addictions issues, and their families, with clinically-trained navigators who help them access the services they need, when they need it.
The Family Navigation Project is 100% funded by donations from caring people like you.
Your donation through my fundraising page helps ensure that young people and their families find the mental health care and addiction services they need.
I believe we all benefit when we help young people. When you make a donation through RBC Race for the Kids, you?re helping change ? and save ? the lives of young people affected by mental illness and addiction.
Thank you so much for your support of the Family Navigation Project and RBC Race for the Kids!
