Let us introduce you to two young women. They were in distress when they joined the mental health intervention program, Horizon 4 Saisons. Today, they’re standing strong, ready to face life’s challenges—thanks to you.
My name is Mégane.
I’m 18 and I’m starting CEGEP in the Springboard to a DCS program. Almost one year ago, when I was 17, I participated in Horizon 4 Saisons.
My psychologist suggested this program because of my diagnosis. Borderline personality disorder, or BPD. She’s been following me since Grade 8.
This disorder has caused a lot of difficulty in my life. I had to be hospitalized for a few days in adolescent psychiatry at Hôpital Charles-Le Moyne. I didn’t know how to get back on track. I even thought about taking my own life.
With Horizon, I found others my age facing the same struggles. They were ready to get help. That’s a hard thing to do: the fear of judgment, of what others will think of you going to group therapy. We all supported each other in the program’s workshops before the expedition.
Thank you so much. You and your generosity are allowing young people, like me, get the help we need to overcome our problems. On behalf of all those young people, thank you. For everything you’ve already done for us and for your continued support.
Your donations give young people with mental health problems the tools they need. You’re improving their self-confidence. You’re creating a support network around them. You’re strengthening their resilience. You’re redefining their future.
