There is only one week left to donate for a 2025 tax receipt! Your support will help families who don’t know where to turn. Give the gift of hope this holiday season: https://loom.ly/Kf0scCc

There is a youth mental health and addiction crisis in Ontario. Roughly 1 in 7 secondary school students report symptoms of a drug use problem, and the percentage rating their mental health as “poor” has almost doubled in 4 years. Your donation doesn't only help families in crisis right now, but supports research, outreach, and prevention programs.

At Pine River, we see an increase in the reliance on digital devices. Endless scrolling, videos, and content can contribute to poorer mental health outcomes, creating an endless loop.

Mary Ann's daughter saw Pine River and said, "I can picture myself waking up here." When you're a parent desperate for help, those words can feel like hope.

👉 Donate today and help us reach even more families through our program and community work: https://loom.ly/Kf0scCc 👈

As one of our therapists explains: “It is a very supportive environment. The kids have positive adults who care and are curious about who they are."

According to a recent report out of the Canadian Medical Association Journal, 18 people die from an opioid overdose every day in Canada. We need your help to support kids and families in crisis. Give today: https://loom.ly/Kf0scCc

"Hidden within this number lies an even more shocking crisis — many deaths from the illicit opioid supply occur in youth," reads the editorial, written by Dr. Shannon Charlebois and Dr. Shawn Kelly.

Parents do the work too, and that is a part of what makes our program so unique. Everyone commits to growing, together. 💚

Whether you give $5 or $50, consider giving monthly to support families who don't know where to turn 👉 : https://loom.ly/Kf0scCc

Youth feedback helps guide us everyday to better understand how to support them as they set out to mature, heal, and function more effectively in the world.

Melanie Fowler, our Wilderness Therapist explains: “Discomfort motivates us to change. The wilderness is a great place to regroup, to get yourself present. Portaging a canoe, building a fire, are things they have never done before and are succeeding at. It builds confidence."

Snow or rain, we are outdoors 365 days a year ❄️ Sometimes you've got to get out in winter to beat the winter blues. The wilderness here on campus calls upon the strengths of our minds and bodies and allows for real healing.
