The A Family of Support: Child & Youth Mental Health Initiative supports child and youth mental health early intervention initiatives at 13 children\u2019s hospitals across Canada<\/p>\n

TORONTO, Sept. 16, 2021 \/CNW\/ \u2013 In partnership with the Sobey Foundation and Sobeys Inc., Canada\u2019s Children\u2019s Hospital Foundations (CCHF) is proud to kick off its second campaign to support the A Family of Support: Child & Youth Mental Health Initiative<\/a>. From September 16 to 30, 2021, Canadians can donate to the initiative\u2019s annual fundraising campaign at Empire and Sobeys Inc. retail locations, including Sobeys, Safeway, IGA, Farm Boy, Foodland, FreshCo, Lawton\u2019s Drugs, Thrifty Foods, Co-op, Need\u2019s Convenience, Pete\u2019s Frootique & Fine Foods, IGA express, Sobeys Express, Rachelle B\u00e9ry, Voisin, Les March\u00e9s Tradition and Bonichoix stores, as well as Voil\u00e0 by Sobeys. One hundred per cent of the funds raised will support local children\u2019s hospitals and their respective child and youth mental health programs.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>[vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2\/3″ offset=”vc_col-lg-offset-2 vc_col-md-offset-2 vc_col-sm-offset-10″][vc_single_image image=”10524″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner]

Over the last decade, there has been more than a 60 per cent increase in childrens\u2019 emergency department visits for mental health concerns[1]. Stress, isolation, and reports of abuse are on the rise since the pandemic began, with 70.2 per cent of children aged six to 18 having reported mental health deterioration in at least one area, such as anxiety or attention span[2]. The prevalence and severity of eating disorders has also substantially worsened.<\/p>\n

\u201cClinicians have said the past year has been especially difficult for children and youth, and their families. Now more than ever, we need to prioritize child and youth mental health and help kids while they\u2019re still kids, giving them the best possible chance to thrive,\u201d said Mark Hierlihy, President & CEO of Canada\u2019s Children\u2019s Hospital Foundations. \u201cSupport for child and youth mental health demonstrates timely leadership and we are proud to embark on this year\u2019s fundraising campaign in partnership with the Sobey Foundation and Sobeys Inc. as we continue to address the urgent local needs for earlier interventions and better access to mental health care.\u201d<\/p>\n

The A Family of Support: Child & Youth Mental Health Initiative supports each children\u2019s hospital to scale early child and youth mental health intervention efforts and deliver mental health programs that address needs specific to their region. The 13 children\u2019s hospitals involved are taking unique approaches to tackle child and youth mental health solutions to increase and measure one or more of treatment spaces, assessments, patients served, and people trained, and are at various stages of initiating their regional programs.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf focusing on prevention and early intervention can keep kids safe and healthy while providing them the mental health support they need, then we can make a real difference for those families in need,\u201d said Michael Medline, President and CEO, Empire. \u201cI\u2019ve heard from so many of our teammates, customers and suppliers about how important this initiative is and how engaged they are in this cause. The results from the first year of our campaign were outstanding and I know that our entire team will push us to greater heights this year! The Sobey Foundation was instrumental in getting this initiative off the ground, and we are so proud to continue championing this important cause with the Sobey Family.\u201d<\/p>\n

The A Family of Support: Child and Youth Mental Health Initiative is a long-term national fundraising effort generously supported by the Sobey Foundation and Sobeys Inc. in partnership with Canada\u2019s Children\u2019s Hospital Foundations. The initiative launched in 2020 and raised more than $3 million for local mental health programs supporting specific provincial needs at 13 children\u2019s hospitals across Canada. From Manitoba\u2019s tele-mental health service for remote communities to Montreal\u2019s evidence-based support for young people with eating disorders, each of the hospitals aim to strengthen both the regional and national mental health care. These are just a few examples of the tremendous work underway.<\/p>\n

Au cours de la derni\u00e8re d\u00e9cennie, le nombre de visites aux urgences pour des probl\u00e8mes de sant\u00e9 mentale chez les enfants a augment\u00e9 de plus de 60 %[1]<\/sup>. Le stress, l\u2019isolement et les signalements de mauvais traitements sont en hausse depuis le d\u00e9but de la pand\u00e9mie. En effet, 70,2 % des enfants \u00e2g\u00e9s de 6 \u00e0 18 ans ont signal\u00e9 une d\u00e9t\u00e9rioration de leur sant\u00e9 mentale dans au moins un domaine, comme l\u2019anxi\u00e9t\u00e9 ou la dur\u00e9e d\u2019attention[2]<\/sup>. La pr\u00e9valence et la gravit\u00e9 des troubles alimentaires ont \u00e9galement consid\u00e9rablement empir\u00e9.<\/p>\n

\u00ab Les cliniciens ont indiqu\u00e9 que l\u2019ann\u00e9e pass\u00e9e a \u00e9t\u00e9 particuli\u00e8rement difficile pour les enfants, les jeunes et leurs familles. Plus que jamais, nous devons accorder la priorit\u00e9 \u00e0 la sant\u00e9 mentale et aider les enfants pendant qu\u2019ils sont encore des enfants en leur offrant la meilleure chance possible de s\u2019\u00e9panouir \u00bb, d\u00e9clare Mark Hierlihy, pr\u00e9sident et chef de la direction des Fondations d\u2019h\u00f4pitaux pour enfants du Canada. \u00ab Le soutien pour la sant\u00e9 des enfants et des jeunes d\u00e9montre un leadership en temps opportun et nous sommes fiers d\u2019entreprendre la campagne de financement de cette ann\u00e9e en partenariat avec la Fondation Sobey et Sobeys inc. alors que nous continuons de r\u00e9pondre aux besoins locaux urgents d\u2019interventions plus t\u00f4t et d\u2019un meilleur acc\u00e8s aux soins de sant\u00e9 mentale. \u00bb<\/p>\n

L\u2019initiative La sant\u00e9 mentale chez les jeunes : Toute une famille pour les soutenir aide chaque h\u00f4pital pour enfants \u00e0 accro\u00eetre ses efforts d\u2019intervention pr\u00e9coce en sant\u00e9 mentale chez les enfants et les jeunes, et \u00e0 offrir des programmes de sant\u00e9 mentale qui r\u00e9pondent aux besoins propres \u00e0 leur r\u00e9gion. Les 13 h\u00f4pitaux pour enfants concern\u00e9s adoptent des approches uniques pour aborder les solutions en mati\u00e8re de sant\u00e9 mentale des enfants et des jeunes afin de renforcer et de mesurer au moins l\u2019un des domaines suivants : espaces de traitement, \u00e9valuations, patients servis et personnes form\u00e9es, et en sont \u00e0 diverses \u00e9tapes du lancement de leurs programmes r\u00e9gionaux.<\/p>\n

\u00ab Si la pr\u00e9vention et l\u2019intervention pr\u00e9coce peuvent assurer la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 et la sant\u00e9 des enfants tout en leur fournissant le soutien en sant\u00e9 mentale dont ils ont besoin, nous pouvons changer les choses pour les familles dans le besoin \u00bb, soutient Michael Medline, pr\u00e9sident et chef de la direction d\u2019Empire. \u00ab Un grand nombre de nos coll\u00e8gues, de nos clients et de nos fournisseurs m\u2019ont fait part de l\u2019importance de cette initiative et de leur engagement envers cette cause. Les r\u00e9sultats de la premi\u00e8re ann\u00e9e de notre campagne ont \u00e9t\u00e9 exceptionnels et je sais que toute notre \u00e9quipe nous permettra d\u2019atteindre de nouveaux sommets cette ann\u00e9e! La Fondation Sobey a jou\u00e9 un r\u00f4le d\u00e9terminant dans le lancement de cette initiative, et nous sommes tr\u00e8s fiers de continuer \u00e0 d\u00e9fendre cette cause importante avec l\u2019\u00e9quipe Sobeys. \u00bb<\/p>\n

L\u2019initiative La sant\u00e9 mentale chez les jeunes : Toute une famille pour les soutenir est un effort \u00e0 long terme de financement \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9chelle nationale g\u00e9n\u00e9reusement soutenu par la Fondation Sobey et Sobeys inc., en partenariat avec Les Fondations d\u2019h\u00f4pitaux pour enfants du Canada. Lanc\u00e9e en 2020, l\u2019initiative a permis d\u2019amasser plus de 3 millions de dollars pour des programmes locaux de sant\u00e9 mentale qui r\u00e9pondent \u00e0 des besoins particuliers de la province dans 13 h\u00f4pitaux pour enfants au Canada. Qu\u2019il s\u2019agisse du service de t\u00e9l\u00e9sant\u00e9 mentale pour les collectivit\u00e9s \u00e9loign\u00e9es du Manitoba ou du soutien fond\u00e9 sur des donn\u00e9es probantes offert aux jeunes atteints de troubles alimentaires \u00e0 Montr\u00e9al, chacun des h\u00f4pitaux vise \u00e0 renforcer les soins r\u00e9gionaux et nationaux en sant\u00e9 mentale. Ce ne sont l\u00e0 que quelques exemples du travail colossal qui est men\u00e9 \u00e0 bien.<\/p>\n
