THE NEED IS GREAT
Mental illness is the leading cause of disability in Canada. One in five Canadian adults encounters a serious mental health challenge in any given year, yet one third of them do not get the help they need. Only one in five children get help!
TREATMENT MAKES SENSE
Depression alone affects 350 million people globally and is the leading cause of disability worldwide. Once depression is recognized, help can make a difference for 80% of people who are affected.
