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

As many as 1.2 million young people in Canada are struggling with mental health issues; yet only one in five will get specialized treatment. This is largely because families don’t know where to turn to find the services their children need. 

About the Family Navigation Project at Sunnybrook,

The Family Navigation Project at Sunnybrook is a non-profit program designed to provide expert navigation of the mental health and addictions service system for youth aged 13-26 with mental health and/or addictions problems.

Its promise to families is to:
• Engage with them to help them navigate the health care and related services system
• Connect to appropriate and credible assessment and treatment resources
• Receive assistance in as timely a way as possible and negotiate challenging situations that may arise

All the while knowing that help and support is available for them every step of the way.

By sponsoring my run, you are helping youth find the right mental health support they need, when they need it most.

Please make a donation today and help me to reach my fundraising goal!
