Mental Health Matters Fundraiser
2025
What is Mental Health Matters?
“Mental Health Matters” is Libbie Young’s Annual Campaign to create awareness of LYC and the mental health need in our community. As well, this campaign helps to raise funds to ensure LYC continues to have the resources needed to provide programs and services to those living with mental illness.
How is Libbie Young Centre services making a difference?
The Libbie Young Centre is a transitional facility that helps clients to develop the skills necessary to live as healthily and independently in the community as possible. We work collaboratively with psychiatric nurses, psychiatrists, social workers, and all other necessary healthcare staff to provide ongoing support and advocacy for each individual.
LYC is bridging the gap in mental health services for Lloydminster by specializing in mental health support services to individuals who may be suffering in silence. Having support to navigate the ups and downs of everyday life is important for every person. When managing a mental illness in addition to every day struggles, this support can mean the difference between: riding the waves unscathed, or ending up hospitalized or homeless.
Where is this year’s money going?
All funds will be used to maintain the operation of our Mental Health Day Program. The Day Program provides opportunities for clients to interact, learn and socialize with peers in a safe, inclusive and supportive environment. Helping them to discover and recover roles in their life that create purpose and life satisfaction. The program consists of educational and recreational programs and works to improve client’s social, physical, emotional, and spiritual wellness through group-based interventions and community engagement.
