TORONTO – The Telus Friendly Future Foundation announced today it donated $150,000 to the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health’s (CAMH) effort in fighting mental illness.
The funding will support the expansion of its ECHO virtual training programs that will help health care workers with their mental health and self-care. In addition, the money will accelerate the development, deployment, and curation of research-informed mental health resources to support frontline health care providers nationally, reads the press release.
“During this unprecedented public health emergency, we are especially focused on supporting our communities’ most vulnerable and enabling urgent funding where it is needed most,” said Dee Brown, executive director, Telus Friendly Future Foundation, in the release. “Supporting CAMH is one way we are doing our part in helping organizations across Canada in the fight against Covid-19. As the largest mental health and addiction teaching hospital in Canada, and one of the world’s leading research centres in the area of addiction and mental health, Telus commends CAMH for its impressive work and for supporting Canadians across the country.”
