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.

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.
