Donor and Board Appreciation

On October 22, the Mental Health Foundation held its annual Donor and Board Appreciation Reception at the Edmonton Petroleum Club.

Program facilitators from the Wellness Recovery Action Planning (WRAP) program who were in attendance thanked donors individually and spoke with them about the significant impact of the funding from the Mental Health Foundation. The WRAP facilitators are individuals who have struggled with mental health and addiction challenges in the past, but are now able to provide support and empower their peers to take control of their own health and wellness.

Founding Board Member and Treasurer, Heather Stephens, whose term came to an end in March, was recognized for her tremendous contribution to the Mental Health Foundation. Our talented board members work tirelessly to inspire and promote positive change for addiction and mental health in our community. Thank you to our board and generous donors, who invest their time and money, making it possible for the Foundation to fund important programs and services.
