A show-stopping moment for mental health!

We were thrilled to welcome Papa Roach to CAMH for a behind-the-scenes hospital tour and cheque presentation, celebrating the band’s meaningful contribution to mental health care in Canada. Through their Canadian tour, Papa Roach donated $1 from every ticket sold to support CAMH’s life-saving work.

This impactful support reflects the band’s ongoing commitment to mental health awareness and su***de prevention. During their visit, representatives from 9-8-8: Su***de Crisis Helpline joined the conversation, highlighting the importance of Canada’s national three-digit su***de prevention number and ensuring more people across the country know where to turn in times of crisis.

By supporting CAMH and amplifying awareness of 9-8-8 throughout their Canadian tour, Papa Roach helped advance a shared belief: mental health care should be accessible, visible, and available to everyone. Together, we’re building a future where support is never out of reach.

Thank you to Papa Roach for using your platform to create lasting impact and help shine a light on mental health across Canada.

February is .

In Canada, Black communities continue to face mental health inequities rooted in systemic racism, colonialism, and longstanding social barriers—shaping access to care and experiences within the system today.

At CAMH, we’re working to close these gaps through research, advocacy, policy action, and training, while advancing culturally responsive care, supporting Black staff, and challenging inequities across the mental health system.

The next breakthrough in mental health will come from CAMH.

CAMH is one of the largest hospitals in North America for people with mental illness. We are an acknowledged world leader in brain science. Each year, we provide exceptional care for more than 34,000 patients and respond to 500,000 outpatient visits. We inspire change in the mental health field through the professionals we train, the knowledge we share, and in the modern facilities we are building: embedded in the community and open to the world.

We are inspired by the courage of our patients, the dedication of our staff and by the example of our volunteers and donors, who have thrust mental health onto society's agenda.
