Support NSDRC in a new way by donating to our GoFundMe campaign!
We’re trying something a little different with this GoFundMe campaign, because we think it’s the perfect way to reach people in the community who want the opportunity to give something back and be part of creating a long term solution to a big problem that’s too often overlooked.

It is likely that you or someone you care about will be affected by mental health and/or substance use at some point in life. These issues don’t discriminate – they affect people from all walks of life, of all ages and backgrounds, from all regions of the province, including your neighbours, co-workers, friends, parents, siblings and children.
People with disabilities don’t always have the greatest experiences trying to access Mental Health and Addictions services – you can tell your story via online form, until June 7.
