If you could tell every single person on PEI why the work of the Alliance is important, what would you tell them?

“Mental well-being affects all of us – our families, our workplaces, our communities. Across the Island, there are so many passionate groups doing incredible work to support mental health in different ways. What makes the Alliance unique is its ability to bring those efforts together – to fund their projects, connect them, and help build a shared understanding of what mental well-being looks like for Islanders.

The Alliance isn’t just supporting programs; it’s helping to shape a collective movement in PEI.”
