A Critical Cause: Gamers for Mental Health

Make a difference in Winnipeg with better programs and resources to for those living with mental illness.

As gamers, we love to talk about all the amazing worlds we play in, about the things we create, about the things we’ve fought, and about the fun we’ve had.

But many of us still have trouble talking about mental health. It’s estimated that 1 in 5 Canadians will develop a mental illness in their lifetime. Even though these illnesses are common, people with mental health issues can still feel lost and alone.

Maybe you know a friend who struggles with depression or maybe you are fighting your own battle, but usually there are little-to-no resources for someone dealing with these problems that they don’t know how to solve.

With your help, we’re going to change that.

We have set up a fund at The Winnipeg Foundation that will go toward mental health research and support, because to us…this truly is a critical cause.

A Critical Cause is a yearly charity event run by, and for, Winnipeggers who have struggled and are struggling with mental illness. We want to make a difference in our city with better programs and resources to make living with mental illness something that doesn’t stop people from achieving their true potential.

We want to show the world that mental health issues matter, and that the people who have them are deserving of love, kindness, and respect.

Game on.
