We have made a donation to Free Counselling Canada. This important society was created during the mental health crisis to combat the long waitlists and expensive treatment options when seeking care.
@freecounsellingcanada helps provide pro-bono counselling (often 12 sessions with the same counsellor) and is 100% volunteer run. It is a referral network that helps connect clients and counsellors (often student counselling interns who need practical hours and experienced counsellors who volunteer their time to supervise interns or offer counselling themselves).
Since January 2025 they have already received over 5000 counselling requests and help provide 300-500 counselling sessions per month (including video call, phone call, and in-person) while striving to respond to requests within 48 hours and connect them with counsellors within one week.
