#ShineBright
As the pandemic continues to impact our daily lives, we find our mental health. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on suicide rates in our society is complex; however, suicidal thoughts and feelings in the general population remain elevated at 8%, compared to 6% in the spring 2020 and 10% in the fall of 2020.
Overall, 41% report a decline in their mental health since the onset of the pandemic, compared to 38% in the spring and 40% in the fall of last year.
We have so much work to do and we will get through this, together. We are asking for your help TODAY to provide accessibility to the mental health support that we all deserve.
You can make a one-time gift or consider becoming a monthly donor.
Impact of Your Donations
Your donation will help us provide:
Critical referral services and virtual peer support for accessing mental illness and mental wellness resources.
Delivery of programs both virtually and in person, ensuring that participants continue to have the critical support they require to live mentally healthy lives.
Honour a friend or loved one with a Tribute Gift
A tribute gift is a wonderful way to honour a loved one. We will notify family members when you make a tribute gift.
Host a Third Party Event
We love to support community groups and organizations who want to raise funds for mental health! Our team will assist you in promoting your event, selling tickets and taking donations on line so you can focus on the event itself. Please complete this form to tell us about your fundraiser!
