Story

As few as 20% of kids and their families seek mental health help, largely due to cost. As parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, caregivers and neighbours, you can work with us to ensure that these kids receive the support they need to thrive. All Minds Matter.

JFS Ottawa's Children, Youth and Families counselling team offers innovative wraparound family counselling—a holistic approach that cares for the entire family and helps them heal together. And they do all of this on a sliding fee scale. In fact, 70% of these family sessions are subsidized. By making a donation to the All Minds Matter campaign, you help make this happen.

Accessible, community-based and affordable counselling is critical and it really does depend on you. Did you know that every $85 donated will pay for an additional subsidized counselling session?

Your donation not only supports more family sessions today, you’re ensuring a long-term benefit in the future, for everyone.
