The Douglas Foundation joins Verdun’s elected officials to raise the Bell Let’s Talk flag as part of National Mental Health Day.
According to Laura Fish, President and CEO of the Douglas Foundation, the annual Bell Let’s Talk campaign is an opportunity to remind people of the importance of supporting mental health research and care across the country. ” Together, we must continue to fund and improve the programs and services offered to all those who suffer from mental illness because current needs are huge,” she says.
The foundation’s team was welcomed by Marie-Andrée Mauger, mayor of Verdun, and members of the city council as well as Marie-Josée Boivin, Vice-President of Human Resources and Maria Crimi, Senior Manager, Community Investments at Bell.

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.
