Niagara Mental Health Fundraiser Kicks off February 1st

For a third straight year, the Pathstone Foundation, will launch its "Fill the Pig, Feel Better" campaign.

But this time around the fundraiser will go virtual with the help of more than a dozen children and teens from across Niagara.

The Youth Champions will encourage all of us to donate online through their own social media accounts.

Pathstone says the kids will receive campaign kits to help them make videos, create content and go live to discuss the importance of mental health.

The agency says its front line services have seen demand spike through the pandemic and donations are needed to support its 24/7 crisis and support line, walk in clinic, and video counselling.
