Mental health journeys are deeply personal and unique, especially in a country as diverse as Canada. Many face barriers that prevent them from receiving the care they need, when they need it.
We collaborate with community partners to address these gaps and advance health equity, supporting underserved communities with specialized and culturally appropriate care that reflects the diverse needs of people living in Canada.
Our 2025 Women’s Mental Health Report, in partnership with Mental Health Research Canada, explores various life transitions, including youth, caregiving and menopause, revealing that anxiety and depression are more prevalent among women than men, with particularly high rates for 2SLGBTQI+ and racialized women.
We launched our Women’s Mental Health program in 2021 to improve and expand access to services that reflect the diverse identities and lived experiences of women in Canada.
We offer free culturally appropriate, trauma-informed virtual therapy and digital Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to those 18+ who identify as women, non-binary, and gender non-conforming.
We’ve provided over 120,000 women with free care and meaningful support.
Canadian youth are facing a mental health crisis. Every year, more than 1 million young people need support. Yet nearly 60 per cent aren’t getting the care they need because of barriers such as cost and accessibility.1
As a solution, we’ve created a Youth Mental Health Ecosystem. This comprehensive, easy-to-navigate digital platform connects youth directly to culturally relevant mental health support and resources when they need them.
To gain a full picture of youth mental health across the country, we partnered with Mental Health Research Canada to introduce the Youth Mental Health Data Hub, Canada’s most comprehensive resource to aggregate data that can be used to explore key trends in mental health indicators, critical gaps, and barriers to support for young Canadians.
We asked some of our partners and program participants to share their stories and experiences, highlighting the barriers to mental health support care many Canadians face.
