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 Douglas Mental Health University Institute is proud to announce a major investment from RBC Foundation that will allow their teams to create an innovative family intervention program for young patients followed at the Douglas Institute.
The funding by the Air Canada Foundation will make it possible to improve the effectiveness of an AVATAR therapy based on virtual reality by carrying out clinical trials with patients suffering from psychotic disorders at the Douglas Institute.
For more than 20 years, Power Corporation of Canada has supported the Douglas Institute and enables us to continue to attract the best and brightest scientists from around the world.
