RBC Children's Mental Health Project
One-in-five Canadian children suffers from a mental illness severe enough to impair their ability to function. Finding the right services and resources to help can be a challenge.
The RBC Children's Mental Heath Project is a multi-year commitment to support community-based and hospital programs that reduce stigma, provide early intervention and increase public awareness.
We support a network of organizations across Canada that provide programs and information that give hope to children, families and those who care for them. We've donated over $16 million to more than 200 organizations so far.
