Meals for Mental Health
Join us on November 2 to November 8th for our Meals for Mental Health event!

During this week when you order from one of the participating restaurants, each $5 “tip” will go towards supporting Maryvlae to shorten the wait-list so that more youth receive help!

Not only are you supporting local restaurants, but you are also supporting youth mental health!

If you are a restaurant wanting to participate in this event please send us a message!

Defeat the Stigma
We strive to defeat the stigma that has bigoted people’s attitudes and fed the discrimination that many have endured. This is in the hope that people will feel comfortable talking about mental illness like any other disease.

Join the Cause
Maryvale treats 700 teenagers annually and half of them are desperate for counseling. Mental health care is underfunded. Our goal is to have fundraising for mental illness reach the same high profile as cancer or heat and stroke.

About Us

Our Mission

Increase awareness and need of community involvement in dealing with mental illness. Adolescent mental health treatment centres such as Maryvale suffer from years of underfunding. Senator Michael Kirby, Chair of the first Canadian Commission on Mental Health, puts it succinctly:

“Mental health is the orphan of the health care system. Children’s mental health is the orphan of the orphan”

Stigma Engima

Welcome to

A group of eighteen outstanding local citizens and former basketball players in Windsor Ontario have a goal; to raise awareness and reduce the stigma that inhibits most people with mental health issues from seeking help. We will provide funding to Windsor’s Maryvale Mental Health Centre, ultimately helping young people and families in the Windsor-Essex area suffering from mental health issues.
