Ways to Give

There is no health without mental health

Your support fuels hope, healing, and transformation. Together, we can build a resilient future, break down the stigma surrounding mental illness, and ensure that community mental health services are accessible to everyone—when they need it most.

Whether you choose to give monthly, make a one-time donation, leave a legacy gift, or support us through fundraising, every contribution helps us reach more people with life-changing care.

Because when we invest in mental health, we invest in stronger families, safer communities, and brighter futures.

Why Donate?

Individuals and families whose lives are impacted by mental health and mental illness are at the heart of everything we do. Your generous support brings hope and health to the 1 in 3 people in our community who will experience mental illness sometime during their lives. They are your neighbour, your sister, your son, your spouse. They are you.

“Having worked closely with the CMHA York Region and South Simcoe team, I have been so impressed by their innovative approach to mental healthcare, and hands-on, no-problem-too-big attitude. I’m proud to be a donor because I have seen firsthand the impact that they make on people’s lives.”
