For You. For Me. For All Minds.
Mental illness affects all Canadians at some time, either through their own experience, or that of a family member, friend or colleague. In any given year, 1 in 5 people in Canada will personally experience a mental health problem or illness, and by age 40, about 50% of the population will have or have had a mental illness.
The time is now to build modern Mental Health & Addictions (MHA) program facilities at Joseph Brant Hospital that ensure dignified, respectful, person-centred care, and support recovery and improve outcomes for every patient group we serve, including children, youth, and adults from across the region and beyond.
For All Minds Campaign
The $20 Million For All Minds campaign will support the transformation of MHA care for our community.
You can help us reach our goal and help ensure a therapeutic, healing space is available.

"For me, recovery began with being given a chance."
- Ashley KreinerAfter years of battling alcoholism, addiction, and mental health challenges, she found hope through the care, compassion, and support she received at Joseph Brant Hospital.
