Behaviour Interactive and the Douglas Foundation join forces to support mental health research in Montreal

From video game studios to research labs, Montreal is a city driven by creativity and innovation. In this spirit, Behaviour Interactive, one of the world’s largest independent video game developers, is joining forces with the Douglas Foundation.

The studio behind Dead by Daylight is rallying its global community to support mental health research and patient care at the Douglas. This partnership brings together Montreal’s creativity and scientific discoveries made here to improve the lives of those affected by mental illness.

This support will take shape through the Charity Chest, a permanent and ongoing charitable initiative within Dead by Daylight.

A community coming together

Beyond financial support, this partnership offers an opportunity to raise awareness of mental illness and the importance of research among a wide audience. As Laura Fish, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Douglas Foundation, explains:

“Reducing stigma around mental illness starts with open dialogue — and there are few audiences positioned to spark a conversation at this scale. We’re honoured to partner with Behaviour Interactive, Montreal’s flagship independent video game studio, and the Dead by Daylight community in support of the Douglas Foundation, and we are excited for the impact this partnership will have on brain research and mental health innovation for years to come.”

We warmly thank Behaviour Interactive and the entire Dead by Daylight community for their lasting commitment to our mission.
