Back-to-school season can be exciting — but for some kids, like Carson, it’s overwhelming.
Carson struggled with anxiety for years. At school, he often felt sick and alone. Being picked on only made things worse. Some days, he could see friends. Other days, he couldn’t leave the house.
That changed when he was referred to the Youth Early Intervention (YEI) Program at Joseph Brant Hospital. With support and therapy, Carson began to feel like himself again.
As more young people seek help, the need for mental health care continues to grow. That’s why we’re expanding our Mental Health and Addictions Unit with our For All Minds Campaign— and we need your support.
Most of us know someone who’s struggled with mental health— a friend, a family member, maybe even ourselves.
Your donation today helps ensure people like Carson get the care they need, when they need it most.
