1 in 5 Canadians are affected by mental illness in their lifetime…. Suicide is the SECOND leading cause of death in youth. Together, we can change this.

We’re Turning

Things Around.

The semicolon carries global recognition as a powerful symbol for mental health.

It signifies community, overcoming hardship and the choice to keep moving forward—that there’s still more to come.

At The Kelty Foundation, we are transforming the semi colon to show upward momentum, hope, access to community, information and support; at The Kelty Foundation, we are ever evolving to the needs of today's children and youth, and transforming lives.

When you support a shift in perspective, you inspire new beginnings.

Prevention.

Access.

Care.
