Mental Health Matters Fundraiser
2026
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 Mental Health Day Program is specifically designed for Lloydminster residents living with a diagnosed mental illness. The program provides a safe, inclusive space where individuals living with mental illness can build skills, expand knowledge, and connect with their community. Through education, skill development, and social engagement, the program equips participants with the emotional, cognitive, and practical tools needed to live and work as independently as possible. The LYC Mental Health Day Program sees over 2,500 unique participants annually.
