As many as 1.2 million young Canadians struggle with mental health issues such as anxiety disorder, bipolar disorder, depression and addiction.
By age 25, the number of Canadian youth struggling with mental health issues or addiction increases to 7.5 million.
For some youth and families in Ontario, the wait for mental health services can be as long as 2.5 years.
RBC Race for the Kids Toronto has raised over $23 million for Sunnybrook’s Family Navigation Project.
