Thank you RBC!

Thank you to RBC for their donation of $50,000 via the RBC Future Launch initiative in support of our Intake & Access services for children, youth, young adults, and families in Peel. This generous contribution will help reduce wait-times and ease access to youth mental health care in the Region.

RBC Future Launch is a 10-year, $500 million commitment to empower Canadian youth for the jobs of tomorrow. With a focus on networking, skills development, practical work experience and mental well-being supports and services, the initiative aims to help break down the barriers facing young people. Through RBC Future Launch, the RBC Youth Mental Well-being Project is a commitment to support programs that help youth and families access the right care at the right time.

“At RBC, we recognize the importance of mental well-being on a young person’s ability to succeed and their success directly impacts the strength of our workplaces, schools and communities,” said Tom Parisi, Regional Vice-President, Mississauga, RBC. “Through our partnership with EveryMind Mental Health Services, RBC Future Launch provides mental health supports and services to help address barriers often faced by young people when trying to access the supports they need.”

Since 2003, the RBC Foundation and RBC community banks have contributed close to $570,000 in support of child and youth mental health care.
