My colleagues and I are working together to fundraise, support and generate  awareness for  an amazing organization, The Canadian Mental Health Association of Toronto. 

Please donate to our fundraiser as they need our support , now more than ever ,due to the growing needs and demands during the pandemic and these uncertain times.  

1 in 5 Canadians are affected by mental illness and the pandemic has further heightened the need for more resources. Furthermore, sadly there are more than 1,000 deaths in Ontario due to suicide. This number is too high and simply we need to do more. 

We can all do our part as more resources are needed now more than ever to reach those in need.

Here are the stats 

• As we pass the one year mark of the pandemic a new survey highlights alarming trends that show a pandemic strain on the mental health of Ontarians has reach an all time high
• Almost 80% of Ontarians now believe we'll be in a serious mental health crisis post pandemic.
• Early findings from a national survey shows that people in Canada are experiencing more anxiety as a result of  Covid -19 pandemic and  a higher number of suicide thoughts and/or behaviors are being reported.                                                             All of these stats are alarming, your donations will be received with gratitude as it will go to help those that are in greatest need during the changes and challenges of the pandemic. 

Thanks,

Sheila
