Invest in Kids’ Mental Health.

Capitalize for Kids is focused on creating a powerful mental health system in Canada, so children, youth, and families can access vital mental health support.

Kids need your help more than ever

1.2 million

children & youth are estimated to live with serious mental health issues.

Only 1 in 5 kids receive the treatment they need, meaning many go untreated.

30,000

children and youth are on waitlists in Ontario, waiting up to 2.5 years for treatment.

Capitalize for Kids is shaping a brighter future for the child and youth mental health sector, because kids deserve better.

We are more than one hospital, one agency, or one hotline. We are changing the system.

Using community collaboration, powerful partnerships, expert pro bono advisory services, and innovative funding, we help solve complex problems in the child and youth mental health sector. Our innovations and improvements help over 250,000 children and youth access vital mental health services each year.
