Dynacare names Canadian Mental Health Association as 2016-2017 Lead Charity
Dynacare names Canadian Mental Health Association as 2016-2017 Lead Charity
Brampton, Ontario
(Sept. 20, 2016)
– Dynacare is pleased to announce the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) has been chosen as its 2016-2017 Lead Charity. Each September, Dynacare employees choose a Canadian charity for the company to support through its Lead Charity program, which aims to positively impact lives by promoting health and wellness and building stronger communities. Since its inception in 2012, our Lead Charity Program has donated more than $135,000 to Canadian charities including Pancreatic Cancer Canada, Mood Disorders Society of Canada, The Lung Association, and Lymphoma Canada.
“Our mission of supporting healthy lives with commitment and care is at the heart of everything we do at Dynacare,” said Naseem Somani, President and CEO, Dynacare. “We are thrilled to partner with CMHA in their fight against stigmatization of mental illness and to help make a meaningful difference in communities across Canada.”
Dynacare will support the CMHA with a $25,000 donation, which will be directed towards ensuring the CMHA’s Get Loud for Mental Health school toolkit and other Get Loud resources are available across Canada to schoolchildren, teachers and parents.
“We are thrilled and so appreciative that Dynacare employees have selected the Canadian Mental Health Association as their Lead Charity,” said Dr. Patrick Smith, CEO of Canadian Mental Health Association. “This funding will not only teach children how to navigate their emotions through mental health literacy, and help make them safer, but will also increase awareness among educators and parents, assisting them in advocating for comprehensive mental health education.”
According to the CMHA, mental illness is one of the top issues negatively affecting youth. Only one out of five children in Canada who need mental health services receives them. The CMHA estimates that 20 per cent of Canadians will personally experience a mental illness in their lifetime.
“We’re pleased to help ensure children and youth have access to resources that support their mental health and wellbeing through our Lead Charity partnership with the CMHA,” said Scott Hickey, Vice-President, Corporate Communications and Public Affairs at Dynacare. “Our corporate giving program is central to the way Dynacare gives back to and strengthens the communities where our employees live and work.”
In addition to the $25,000 donation, Dynacare employees will support the CMHA throughout the year through various special events and mental health awareness initiatives.
Dynacare has a robust corporate giving program that includes both our
Lead Charity
and
Community Outreach
programs.
