In October 2026, Sydney Matic, one of our school-based therapists in Forest Lake, will be embarking on a 14-day trek through the Himalayas to Everest Base Camp. Everest Base Camp sits at just about 17,600 feet and is considered the resting point for those who will go on to summit Mt. Everest.

“This trek is a way of combining my love for adventure and travel with my passion for mental health advocacy. My goal is to raise funds for Canvas Health, a nonprofit that provides accessible mental health care to those throughout Minnesota," said Sydney.

In honor of Sydney's birthday (today, Feb. 16) read more about her journey and consider a gift in support of her trek! You also can share her story with your networks via this link!

Substance use disorders affect individuals and families across every community. Often, the earliest signs of addiction can be subtle, gradually showing up in behavior, mood, relationships, or physical health. Knowing what to look for can make a life‑changing difference. Getting help early greatly improves outcomes.

At Canvas Health, we believe in meeting people where they are, offering hope, dignity, and accessible pathways to recovery for individuals and families throughout Minnesota.
