Canada Post Foundation For Mental Health
1 in 5 Canadians will suffer from mental illness
In October 2007, Canada Post adopted mental health as its cause of choice, becoming the first major Canadian corporation to do so. Now, Canada Post has created an independent organization, the Canada Post Foundation for Mental Health, to support this often-overlooked cause and stigmatized illness.
Guided by an independent board, the Foundation will support front-line organizations serving patients, consumers* and caregivers, while eliminating the stigma of mental illness and raising awareness of how it affects the lives of all Canadians. The Foundation will receive funds raised by Canada Post and its employees, as well as donations from the public, and expects to begin distributing funds in 2009.
