mental illness is at an all-time high

Over the past two years, rates of anxiety and depression have more than doubled in Nova Scotia. We need the support of our generous donors to ensure Nova Scotians living with mental disorders have access to support where they need it when they need it.

 
 

 overwhelming need

With the support of our generous donors, we have provided more than 8.5 million dollars to mental health initiatives in Nova Scotia since 2003— but each year the demand for financial support grows. Together we can raise money to fund innovative and accessible mental health supports and services.

increasing access to mental health support

Investing in community initiatives helps Nova Scotians access the supports and services they need no matter where they live. Your support will fund programs that build confidence, self-worth, respect, and social support province-wide while increasing the likelihood they stay on the path to recovery.

providing hope above all else

Mental illness affects us all. Investing in community initiatives will directly impact the lives of more than 1/4 million Nova Scotians this year alone. Through vital services like peer support, counselling, therapeutic recreation, gardening, music, and art, as well as mental health literacy, we will help Nova Scotians living with mental illness believe that recovery is not only possible, it’s probable.

eradicating stigma

We support organizations and individuals whose programs and services empower positive change, promote reintegration, and help shed the stigma. We invest in mental health initiatives developed by Nova Scotians who are passionate about changing the way people think about mental illness and addiction.
