Why those in need don’t get help
Mental illness affects 1 in 5 Canadians. But due to the stigma attached to mental illness or because resources simply aren’t there to provide help, many of our friends, neighbours, colleagues and loved ones affected by mental illness will not get help.
That’s where we come in
The Canada Post Foundation for Mental Health raises awareness about mental illness and helps front-line, grassroots organizations. Thanks to Canada Post employees, customers and suppliers, $4.8 million has been raised.
Who we help
By September 2011, almost 100 groups offering direct, community-based support to individuals and families coping with mental illnesses will have received critical funding from the Foundation.
How we help
Our grants are making a difference in the quality and range of front-line services available in communities across the country, improving the quality of life for people living with mental illness.

Working together
Together, Canada Post and the Canada Post Foundation for Mental Health are delivering hope.
We thank you for your support.
