I’m participating in the RBC Race for the Kids Toronto to support youth mental health.

I am running 5 K to support The Family Navigation Project (FNP) at Sunnybrook Hospital.  It is a non-profit designed to provide expert navigation of the mental health and addictions service system for youth aged 13-26 and their famililes.  FNP is a free service offered through phone and email that uses a combination of clinical and lived experience to support a relationship-based model of care.  Operating since 2013, the FNP's Navigators have helped over 2900 youth and families find the supports and services to enhance their health and family functioning.  In order to accomplish this, the FNP is connected with over 1,000 resources/service providers.  Over the past six years, the annual RBC Race for the KIds has rallied over 46,000 participants and raised over $12 million in support of the Family Navigation Project at Sunnybrook.  Please consider supporting me in this run to help us expand the services in order to reach more families and youth who are struggling.  Any donation is welcome at my secure online link.
