The TD Ready Commitment is proud to contribute to youth mental health care by supporting cutting-edge research at the Douglas Institute.

Dr. Chakravarty explains that according to early results, “machine learning allows our clinicians-researchers to make 80% more accurate diagnostic predictions.

We are very grateful to The TD Ready Commitment for their generous gift to this initiative. Thank you for helping us build hope.

Thanks to the support of our sponsors and donors, the first edition of our comedy show managed to raised $150,000$ to support mental health research at the Douglas Institute.
I am happy to say the Foundation has experienced tremendous growth this past year. The Douglas Institute has become the gold standard in mental health research and care in Quebec, and it is in no small part thanks to the support of our donors.
