Our goal this Giving Tuesday is to raise $150,000 to purchase 4 brain stimulation machines and treatment spaces.
One in five Canadians will experience a mental health issue in their lifetime. Brain stimulation therapy offers hope for patients with treatment-resistant depression.
Giving Tuesday is on November 28, and we have exciting news! From now until Giving Tuesday, your donation to Calgary Health Foundation will be matched – up to $75,000 by a generous donor!
That means your gift will go TWICE as far to help those who feel like all hope is lost.
Give hope todayThis Giving Tuesday, your support will help us purchase lifesaving brain stimulation machines.
Brain stimulation is a safe and highly effective option for patients who have treatment-resistant depression, or can’t tolerate depression medications. With your help, we can install four machines at our hospitals.
Did you know?
89% of patients discovered that the treatment and care significantly helped.
Positive results can be seen in as few as one to two treatments.
After treatment, 83% of patients experienced increased hopefulness in managing their condition.
Recent research indicates that 70-80% of individuals experience an improvement in depressive symptoms, and a course of treatment leads to remission in 60% of people with depression.
Give TWICE as much hope to patients struggling with debilitating mental illness.
Here’s just some of the patient testimonials after receiving a course of brain stimulation therapy:
“Brain stimulation therapy made me functional once again. For me, that was more than I could’ve hoped for – it really was a second chance at life.”
“After multiple treatments, I noticed incremental improvements. I’m now able to lead a fuller life doing the things I want to do.”
“For the first time in my life I am actively planning a future. It’s exciting to have a life and want to live it.”
“After Courtney’s first treatment of ECT, she called her husband and he could immediately hear a difference in her voice. ‘Courtney’s back,’ he said.”
