Our Impact

17%
With approximately 17% of Canadians grappling with mental health challenges and one in every two experiencing mental illness by age 40, we're on a mission to revolutionize Canadian mental health care. Our approach is dynamic and action-oriented, offering accessible, affordable, immediate, and integrated services to address these pressing needs head-on.
1/2
Despite these staggering statistics, only about half of Canadians experiencing mental health challenges receive potentially adequate care, with standard therapy wait times ranging from six months to a year.
We're committed to rewriting these numbers.
We champion a neurodiverse-affirming, safe, attuned, and anti-oppressive care model. Through our innovative strategies and unwavering commitment to excellence, we aim to enhance mental health outcomes and ignite a societal shift towards greater inclusivity and understanding.
Our impact extends far beyond the services we provide.
We're vocal advocates, tirelessly raising awareness about mental health issues and pushing for systemic change within the Canadian healthcare landscape. Our vision is one where mental health care is universally accessible, irrespective of background or circumstance.
Join us in our quest to reshape the landscape of Canadian mental health care.
