Why St. Mike's?
Mental illness is one of the most pressing healthcare challenges of our time, yet access to care remains deeply unequal. St. Michael’s Hospital is committed to serving individuals who are too often overlooked by the healthcare system, including those experiencing homelessness, substance use, trauma, suicide risk, and complex medical and mental health needs. At the same time, the hospital is advancing innovations that are helping shape the future of mental health care for everyone.
Coralie and I are proud to support St. Michael's Mental Health & Addictions Program because of its unique commitment to improving care for people at risk of suicide. As one of the few centres in Canada with a core focus on suicide prevention, the program combines clinical care, research, and caregiver engagement to create a lasting impact.
What Your Gift Will Make Possible
With your philanthropic support, we can equip an exercise room within the inpatient unit that promotes wellness and supports a holistic approach to recovery. This welcoming space will help minimize feelings of institutionalization, complement clinical care, and encourage patients to build healthy coping strategies, develop confidence, and prepare for life beyond the hospital.
