Thank you Peter Gilgan Foundation for Supporting our Counselling Services for 18+ Youth!

We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to the Peter Gilgan Foundation for their $20,000 grant to support our Counselling & Therapy for youth and young adults. This grant and our youth counselling services are a natural fit given the Foundation’s mission to improve the lives of youth and families by empowering initiatives that help the world transition to a more healthy, prosperous, and sustainable future.

Speaking of this support, Stephanie Trussler, Executive Chair, said, “The Peter Gilgan Foundation is proud to support EveryMind in their mission to provide accessible, strengths-based mental health services tailored to the unique needs of young people. Their commitment to empowering youth and families aligns with our goal to equip children, youth, and families with the skills, resources, and opportunities to reach their full potential.”

This grant helped to provide continued support to an especially underserved demographic, allowing youth past the age of 18 to remain with their trusted clinicians during a key transitional period. By allowing us to increase access to individual counselling & therapy sessions and increase capacity to meet growing demand for services, the grant had a measurable and lasting impact on improving mental health outcomes by helping youth develop healthy coping strategies and enhance life skills.

The Peter Gilgan Foundation supports youth mental health by funding accessible, culturally appropriate clinical interventions delivered by accredited professionals, aiming to eliminate financial barriers and provide early support within community settings.

EveryMind’s counselling and therapy services to youth past the age of 18 are fully funded by private donations and community support.
