The Douglas Foundation team would like to thank the great generosity of Let’s Bond for the funds raised to support the care of young patients with mental illnesses at the Douglas.
This year, more than $190,000 was raised with their 2022 edition of the The Derby, a high-level sporting event presented by Desjardins that puts young professionals from various fields to the test against each other.
Let’s Bond is a Montreal collective of 50 socially involved young professionals that raises funds for organizations that work more concretely in mental health. Over the past ten years, the collective has managed to raise more than $2 million, which has been donated mainly to the Fondation Jeunes en Tête and the Douglas Foundation.
So thank you once again to the Let’s Bond collective for helping the Douglas build hope for all those whose lives are turned upside down by mental illness.
The Douglas Foundation is pleased to introduce the Douglas Legacy Society, a distinguished group of donors who have pledged a legacy gift through a will or life insurance policy.
This investment of $200,000 will help us better understand the needs of young people suffering from mental health problems in the territory served by the Douglas Institute by supporting a pilot project with a mobile outreach unit as well as single session therapy (STS) initiatives within the Aire ouverte network.
