 The Latest News

Meet Freddy! 🧸 It’s Freddy’s first time at Merrymount, and this video follows along from the moment Freddy arrives for programming through a typical day and overnight stay. Along the way, Freddy gets familiar with the space, enjoys meals, takes part in activities, gets ready for bed, and experiences the morning routine.

The video was created to help children and caregivers become more familiar with what to expect before coming to Merrymount’s Child Mental Wellness Program, making the intake process and first visit a little easier to understand.

This project was made possible through an Engagement Grant from the Knowledge Institute on Child and Youth Mental Health and Addictions, supporting our work to improve the intake experience for children and families.

Stronger Children.
Stronger Families.

Ways To Give

When we lift up one child or one family, together, we start to lift up our whole community. There are many meaningful ways to make a differenceβ€”whether through donations, gifts in kind, legacy giving, or other forms of support.

Our signature events play a vital role in supporting our mission, offering a fun and impactful way to get involved. Whether you're teeing off at the Golf Classic or enjoying the elegance of the Gala, we’d love for you to be a part of these special occasions!
