Our Story
Founded in 2009, Ontario Shores Foundation for Mental Health was created to raise funds, and support for Ontario Shores Centre for Mental Health Sciences (Ontario Shores). Our goal is to also help bring awareness to, and reduce the stigma, surrounding mental illness.
Throughout the years, our team, events, and fundraising programs have grown and evolved substantially. Together, we work with the numerous departments at Ontario Shores to lead change so that individuals with mental illness have access to the care they need, and the opportunity to fully participate in an inclusive and stigma-free society.
Creating a sense of hope is one of the greatest gifts we can give to those living with complex mental health challenges. Our mission at Ontario Shores Foundation is to help create that hope through the combined efforts of our team, and the generous support of our donors and community. Together we are helping our patients to recover, and giving them that feeling of hope for a brighter tomorrow.
Everything we do is rooted in the principles of Discovery, Recovery, and Hope:
Discovery.
With a dedicated focus on research and innovation, you can help us continue to lead the way in the development of new advances for the treatment of mental illness. With groundbreaking research we can change the way mental health care is understood, diagnosed and treated.
Recovery.
Those we support benefit from a recovery-oriented environment of care built on compassion, inspiration and hope. Highly skilled healthcare leaders work in collaboration with patients and families on individualized care plans that treat their mental, physical and emotional well-being.
Hope.
Each of us deserves to live in a society that is free from stigma. You can be a leading voice in the collective efforts of patients, professionals, policy makers, businesses and communities to raise awareness about mental illness, eliminate stigma and ultimately create hope for individuals and families. Together we can share that help is available and a brighter future is possible.
Join us on this journey as we create discovery, recovery, and hope for all those in our communities who are living with the devastating impact of mental illness.
