Crying needs

In 2016, the Fondation de l'Institut universitaire en santé mentale de Montréal launched its "Donnez un peu, beaucoup, à la folie" campaign. The goal of this campaign was to raise a minimum of $8 million over four years to improve the daily lives of people living with a mental health disorder - a goal reached and even surpassed!

Stay tuned for the announcement of the next campaign...

A few statistics...

• 12% of the Quebec population 15 years and older have suffered through at least one episode of depression in their lifetimes.
