The 3rd edition of the Mind on Health Challenge raised $99,760 to support mental health research and care at the Douglas Institute.
This resounding success would not have been possible without the continued efforts of Marie-Hélène Thibeault, ambassador of the Douglas Foundation and the event’s organizing committee. “Again this year, we have come together on World Mental Health Day to take the cause to new a new peak and the results are breathtaking! The inspiring mobilization across Quebec bears witness to the crying needs for mental health research and care,” she said.
We would also like to note the extraordinary commitment of several students from the City of Granby who took up a major challenge: climb four mountains in the Eastern Townships in a single day to raise awareness on mental health issues amongst young people.

The Douglas Foundation team would like to thank the volunteer of the organizing committee, donors, sponsors and all the participants for their commitment to the cause of mental health. Thanks to you, we are able to build hope for all those whose lives have been affected by mental illness.

The latest edition of Open Minds was held last Wednesday at Théâtre Paradoxe.
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.
