To all of our wonderful volunteers: Happy National Volunteer Week!

In every corner of The Royal, volunteers bring a wealth of skills, knowledge, and perspectives that help provide the best possible care for the patients, their families, and those who face the effects of mental illness every day. With their selfless dedication and generous gift of time, volunteers are an integral part of the fabric of our organization. 

From the Foundation's board members and advisory councils to the event committees and research volunteers, your efforts are making a lasting impact on the well-being of people in our community and their families. Thank you for all that you do to provide compassionate care and advance mental health and substance use health research.

Your next opportunity to volunteer at a Foundation event is on June 12, 2023, at the annual Royal Open Golf Tournament! To learn more about this opportunity, click here to contact our events team today!

Closing the gap in women’s mental health

Join us on June 4 at the 2023 Ottawa Run for Women as we walk, run or roll in support of gender-specific mental health care and research at The Royal! Every dollar raised supports women through the funding of important programs, like the Shirley E. Greenberg Resource Centre for Women and the Prompt Care Clinic, that allow women to take that next step to recovery.

Mental Hygiene:
A toothbrush for your brain

Innovation alert! One recent project you've made possible as a donor is the Mental Hygiene Challenge, which focuses on the practice of taking care of one's mental health the same way one would take care of their physical health. Created by The Royal's mental health experts, this FREE online toolkit is available to everyone to boost mental wellness.
