Foundation Sixty6

Foundation Sixty6 is formed by the parents and supporters of a child who has experienced significant barriers in accessing adequate mental healthcare for severe conditions that have recently been diagnosed under the umbrella of psychotic depression.

The mission is To facilitate improved access to mental healthcare for youth between the ages of 16 and 25 suffering from psychosis, bipolar disorder (BPD), and schizophrenia, specifically within Southwestern Ontario. We aim to achieve this by creating a network of physicians and mental healthcare providers who will offer counselling services for free, or at a reduced rate, and by generating donations / funds to support that access. We also aim to create long term employment opportunities that understand the flexibility and support required by people with severe mental health challenges.

To become a volunteer with Foundation Sixty6, you'll need to complete the volunteer application form found on their website. Once you've submitted your application, you can proceed with the steps to inquire about opportunities: attend orientation or training, and get involved in their initiatives. Keep in touch with the organization's volunteer coordinator or relevant staff members to stay updated and engaged in your volunteering journey.

The requirements or qualifications for volunteering with Foundation Sixty6 are not highly specific. Essentially, anyone can be a part of our volunteer team. However, we highly value individuals, especially professionals in the healthcare field, who can provide guidance and support to the young individuals experiencing mental health disorders. While there are no strict prerequisites, having expertise or experience in mental health care can greatly enhance the impact of your volunteer contributions. We welcome all who are passionate about making a difference in the lives of those affected by mental health challenges.
