Working Together to Support Youth Mental Health

It’s no secret that the impact of the pandemic on our kids’ mental health is ongoing. They are facing unprecedented mental health challenges, with high rates of anxiety, depression, and other conditions caused by prolonged disruption and isolation during some of their most formative years. At RVH, home to the region’s only Child and Youth Mental Health program, we’re committed to providing vital, lifesaving care for these young people.

This year, instead of a traditional race, we're launching a new initiative for the 2024 RBC Race for the Kids. It's a race against time to fund critical resources that directly support the mental health of children and youth in our community. Your support will provide tangible items like personal care kits, art supplies, healthy food boxes, and more—each one a lifeline for a young person in our care at RVH. You can browse all the gifts available at our main page here: https://www.rbcraceforthekids.com/event/royal-victoria-regional-health-centre/home.

Join us as we race to deliver the care our kids deserve, ensuring they have the tools and support to live healthy, fulfilling lives. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of children across Simcoe Muskoka.

Thank you from all of us and the RBC Race for the Kids participants and charities!
