Welcome!
Defeat Depression encrouages family, friends, neighbours and communities across Canada to join together, support mental health awareness and promote discussion around depression, anxiety, and other mood disorders.
Our fundraising events include walks, runs, rides and other physical and social activities hosted in cities and towns across Canada whose purpose is to raise awareness about mental illness, reduce negative beliefs and stereotypes about depression and other mood disorders, and to encourage Canadians to become more involved with their mental well-being. Funds raised through these activities support community mental health organizations that provide direct services to persons affected by mental illness and their families.
Join us, we need your help!
We are looking for people who are passionate about mental health. You can be a host organization, help sponsor an event, volunteer to help organize a walk in your community, or participate in an event in your local area. As many as one in five Canadians will experience mental illness this year and the need for community mental health services has never been greater. We invite you to join thousands of Canadians who are working together to defeat depression and start talking about mental health.
