We are a non-profit organization (Canada Not-for-profit Corporations Act) that seeks to empower students to uplift vulnerable populations in the healthcare system through creative and cognitive engagement.
Our organization is dedicated to promoting preventative health practices by addressing risk factors associated with mental health and cognitive difficulties among individuals chronically in the healthcare system (chronic illness patients). The primary populations we wish to impact include oncology patients, individuals in palliative care, residents of long-term care homes, and those experiencing cognitive impairments.
Research shows that engaging interventions can reduce loneliness by 20–30%1, while creative activities can alleviate depressed mood and pain severity2. By integrating evidence-based strategies, we strive to create a supportive environment that prioritizes well-being.
If you would like to contribute to our mission, we encourage you to send us an email or Instagram DM. There will be many opportunities to make an impact, as a volunteer or by joining the executive team.
