The funds raised at Jack Ride support critical mental health education programs for young people across Canada, teaching them how to recognize the signs of mental health struggle, have supportive conversations with their peers, and when and where to seek professional support.
Mental health is health, but Canada ranks among the bottom third of wealthy nations when it comes to youth mental health outcomes and has one of the highest rates of adolescent suicide.1 While one out of every five young people will experience a mental health disorder, many of them lack the mental health education that would help them get the support they need.
In the past 15 years, Jack Riders have raised over $10 million dollars to support young people’s mental health.
