Every day, in the mental health department at Hôpital Charles-Le Moyne, adults of all ages go through profound distress. They are loved ones, colleagues, parents, friends.
Crisis. Depression. Loneliness. Fear.
For many, it is their first contact with psychiatry. In these fragile moments, everything matters: feeling welcomed, heard, and supported. Because to begin to heal, one must first feel safe.

One of the largest mental health hubs in Québec
With 89 beds across three specialized units (young adults, adults, and geriatric psychiatry), the mental health department is the second-largest psychiatric hospitalization centre in Québec after the Douglas Institute — and the largest within a general Hospital.
The Fondation has committed to raising $1.5 million to improve the well-being of patients in psychiatry and the staff who care for them. We are currently 60% of the way toward our goal.
