Cresco Cares

2022 Charity Announcement

Cresco Cares is back in action. We’ve met a few times already to carefully consider how we can make a positive impact this year.

We are pleased to announce that we will be putting the majority of our fundraising efforts this year towards Build Them Up working alongside The Alberta Children’s Hospital. This is a new Centre for Child & Adolescent Mental Health.

Mental health issues are the single largest health problem facing young people in Canada today. With one in five children and teenagers struggling with conditions such as anxiety, depression, eating disorders and schizophrenia, the demand for services is higher than our health system can accommodate.

The new Centre for Child & Adolescent Mental Health will be wholly dedicated to serving children, adolescents and their families in need of urgent and intensive mental health care and will be located in the beautiful northwest community of Hounsfield Heights. Its three new services will augment and integrate with the overall continuum of care currently provided through the AHS Child & Adolescent Addiction, Mental Health and Psychiatry Program (CAAMHPP) and other important community agencies.

The new Centre will provide families with greater access to timely assessments, intervention and therapy and ultimately reduce admissions and lengths of stay in hospital for children and teens.
