The Open Minds ’22 campaign dedicated to our front line workers has raised more than 305,500$ in donations.
Because of the current pandemic, the Douglas has faced severe staff shortages, exhaustion and extreme pressure. All along the sanitary crisis, the Douglas Institute treated the majority of Quebec mental health patients who contracted Covid-19.
Nevertheless, the Open Minds campaign has been able to raise more than 305,500$ in donations to support the front line workers and has permitted many patients to regain their dignity and their reason for living.
We would like to thank our exceptional organizing committee and our generous partners for this accomplished mission:
Because of you, we can continue to build hope for all those whose lives have been affected by mental illness. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
The generosity of the Lise and Giuseppe Racanelli Foundation propels neuroscience at the Douglas Research Centre.
The 10th edition of Open Minds has just broken all records by raising an unprecedented $740,000 for mental health research and care at the Douglas Institute. This amount represents the largest sum ever collected in the history of this flagship event dedicated to mental health in Quebec.
The highly anticipated Douglas Show 2025 broke fundraising records this year, generating an impressive $153,000 for mental health initiatives at the Douglas Foundation. The sold-out event at Club Soda featured some of Quebec’s best comedians uniting for this important cause.
