Who We Are & Current Initiative
OUR MISSION
Empowering people living with mental health challenges to conquer life’s daily peaks, through destigmatization and actionable efforts.
Our first initiative, Climbing the Seven Summits, not only supported this endeavour but also raised money for the now open, CAMH Foundation and their ground breaking CAMH Urgent Drop-in Clinic in Toronto, Ontario.
We are excited to announce that our newest fundraiser is raising money to help our senior population, specifically those requiring assisted living services in Ontario.
With the help of our valued donors, we will be funding programs and activities to support seniors mental health. Exercise, music, art, and other avenues to encourage connections and improved mental health will receive our support.
If you would like to learn more, please reach out. We would be happy to discuss how you can help make an impact on the lives of seniors.
We are accepting donations for this incredible initiative now.

Impact Story
Thank you very much for Peaks for Change Foundation’s generous gift in support of the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health’s redevelopment, and in particular for directing this support towards construction of the CAMH Bridging Clinic, part of the brand new Crisis and Critical Care Building, which will open towards the end of 2020.
Clients who visit the Bridging Clinic can count on receiving immediate care for their urgent mental health needs on a walk-in basis. When the new Crisis and Critical Care Building opens, this high-quality care will be delivered in a spacious, modern environment co-located on the same campus with all of CAMH’s mental illness and addictions inpatient units.
Thank you for partnering with us to build better tomorrows for our patients!
