Mental health IS health. And it affects us all. đź’™
Behind every statistic is a story: a neighbour, a friend, a loved one. Today, we’re sharing voices from our community. People who know firsthand the heartbreak of waiting, the fear of stigma, and the toll of not having timely mental health care close to home.
Right now, patients in crisis often wait DAYS in the GBGH Emergency Department, because our region doesn’t have enough acute mental health beds. They aren’t receiving the care they urgently need, in the environment they deserve, or with the dignity every person in crisis should have.
This is not okay. It’s time for change. 💕
Through our "We See You: Inside & Out" campaign, we are working to bring a new 48,400 sq. ft. acute mental health unit to Georgian Bay General Hospital — increasing capacity in our region and ensuring compassionate, life-saving care is available right here at home.
✨ On World Mental Health Day, we invite you to stand with us, share your story, and be part of building a future where no one has to face crisis alone.
