Building Hope – The movement is an awareness campaign to support research on mental health at the Douglas Institute and to build hope for all those whose lives have been affected by mental illness.
We have all talked a lot about mental health in the last months without really knowing what we can do to help. Hope is possible with a better understanding of mental illness and this knowledge is acquired through research. The Douglas Institute is a global pioneer in mental health and has been at the core of innovation since it was first established. It also houses the most important mental health research center in Quebec.
François Massicotte chose to be our spokesperson because he suffers from a bipolar disorder and is convinced that positive and lasting change is possible through the work of our experts in mental health. Join him to support cutting-edge research at the Douglas Institute and build hope for people who are affected by mental illness by:
Every action counts and it is together that we will be able to build hope for all those whose lives have been affected by mental illness. Together, we will create positive and lasting change. Thank you for your generosity!
The Jonathan Laurin Grant for Hope will be awarded annually to support bipolar disorder research at the Douglas.
The Douglas Foundation is pleased to welcome Laurence L’Abbé, Jaime Freyre de Andrade, and Werner Muelhemann to its Board of Trustees.
Thanks to a major commitment from Manulife Canada, the Fondation Douglas is advancing a first in Quebec: a clinic dedicated to personalized dementia prevention, helping people act earlier and transform cognitive health trajectories.
