DONATIONS AND SPONSORSHIPS

Delivering hope through awareness and education for a brighter, mentally healthy future for Canadians.

Our Mission

Our Mission at I Got Mind is threefold:

  • To raise awareness of the mental health issues that are prevalent in Life, in particular the areas of Sport (athletes, parents, coaches), Education (student and teachers), and in the Workplace.
  • To empower our program participants with practical tools and knowledge to make decisions that will result in positive changes for themselves and others
  • To create a continual supply of updated social and emotional education programs for athletes, coaches, parents, sports organizations, schools, and businesses.

I Got Mind courses, programs, and support makes a real difference in the lives of adults and youth in communities across Canada by helping local social organizations, sports organizations and schools.

In 2019-2020, we set out on a tour of the major cities in Western Canada and held events in Calgary and Edmonton, followed by shows in Lethbridge, Medicine Hat, Red Deer, and Kamloops. Our goal, to provide awareness to the real epidemic of mental health, the stigmas that still surround it, and shared our mission to shatter those stigmas and make mental health a common topic of conversation so people can live without shame and guilt and feel comfortable to reach out safely to access the help they need. 

Our aim was to make that reach for help as accessible as possible and meet those people where they were at.

While the Covid-19 Pandemic had slowed down our road tour, it didn’t stop our desire to help! We couldn’t imagine stopping in a time of such great need. We shifted to a virtual webinar series and continued to offer support and education for Mental Health addressing the new and very real issues people are now facing. These new issues have opened the door to better understanding of mental health as those who may not have experienced mental illness previously, are now facing mental health issues of stress and anxiety, depression from isolation and financial hardship from losing jobs or businesses.

We decided to continue our mission and the tour by shifting to a virtual format.  Our virtual events have allowed us to reach even more people who have shown to be increasingly open and comfortable with these conversations sitting in the safety and privacy of their own homes.

We invited local celebrities and public figures, like NHL Broadcaster, Kelly Hrudey, former NHL player Theo Fleury, Former Downhill Ski Champion Karen Lee Gardner, among many others who are also Mental Health advocates, to join us in sharing their stories which others could relate to and learn from as they work towards their own coping, healing and growth.
