Raise money for Vanier Children’s Mental Wellness
Vanier Children’s mental wellness is a not-for-profit children’s mental health organization. Vanier offers a wide range of services to children and families that need mental health support. Our services range from early intervention and prevention to intensive support. Vanier Children’s Mental Wellness is committed to helping children and youth achieve better life outcomes and give them the skills to create a brighter future.
Since the pandemic, children and youth have been experiencing an increase in anxiety and stress, social isolation, academic challenges, increased family stress and conflict, emotional and behavioural changes, and digital overload.

Our Day Respite Services offer meaningful and intentional activities, opportunities, and support from a trained mental health professional. Vanier’s Day Respite services for children provide a safe space for meaningful experiences, emotional growth, social connections, building confidence and resiliency, and skill building. Our Day Respite Program is offered to children between the ages of 7 and 13 that are waiting for services at Vanier, and would benefit from an environment, with peers of the same age, to build confidence and create connection and sense of community through planned outings and small group activities.
This fundraiser will allow Vanier to create a program called DASH (Development Acceptance Social skills Healing) with the following mental health growth opportunities for children in the London-Middlesex Community:
- Communication skill development through interactions with same age peer group as well as CYC facilitators
- Increase self-esteem and confidence through opportunities for growth in peer interactions, life skills and social skill building
- Increase sense of community and connection through planned activities through London/Middlesex
- Reduces stigma and isolation while creating confidence in a small group environment
