How to Help

We can have a mental health system that works for all of us. Invest in mental health research today.

We Need Your Help

At MHRC, we are doing a lot with a little. Unlike many mental health organizations, we receive no government or other core sources of funding. That means every report, every data insight, and every meaningful step forward is made possible through the generosity of donors and partners like you.

One in four Canadians is impacted by mental health challenges.

These aren’t just numbers—they are our friends, our family, our loved ones. Everyone knows someone who is struggling. Something needs to change.

The reality is stark: the status quo isn’t working. There’s a growing gap between the mental health support people need and what’s available. But it doesn’t have to be this way.

At MHRC, we’re committed to transforming mental health care through innovative research. Research that doesn’t just sit on a shelf—but drives real, system-wide change. Because without research, it’s just guesswork.

We are a small but mighty team committed to advancing mental health in Canada through evidence-informed action. Our research is shaping policies, supporting communities, and helping people access the care they need, but we can’t do it alone.

The need has never been greater. With your support, we can deepen our impact, expand our partnerships, and continue delivering the high-quality, nationally recognized work that so many rely on.

No gift is too small. Every contribution brings us one step closer to a healthier, more equitable future for all
