MONTREAL, Jan. 23, 2025 /CNW/ - The Montreal Sacré-Coeur Hospital Foundation announces that it will henceforth continue the mission of the Fondation les petits trésors, committed for more than 40 years to children and adolescents living with a diagnosis of mental health or autism.
The integration of the activities of the Fondation les petits trésors with those of the Montreal Sacré-Coeur Hospital Foundation will make it possible to continue to solicit donations to finance research, teaching and development projects in mental health for children and adolescents. The only difference for donors, partners and friends of the Fondation les petits trésors: everything will be done within the Montreal Sacré-Coeur Hospital Foundation and through the Les petits trésors Child Psychiatry fund which has been created.
Implementation of a special fund
The amounts raised, as of today, will be kept in a specific fund, called le Fonds de pédopsychiatrie les petits trésors. "Even if the Fondation les petits trésors ceases its activities, it becomes important that its mission is not abandoned. "By taking up the torch, our Foundation will continue to contribute to the improvement of physical healthcare services offered at Montreal Sacré-Coeur Hospital, as well as adult and adolescent mental health services provided at the Albert-Prévost Mental Health Hospital, but will also support children's mental health, particularly in the field of child psychiatry," states the President and CEO of the Montreal Sacré-Coeur Hospital Foundation, Mr. Paul Bergeron.
"Taking up the torch of the Fondation les petits trésors is not just an administrative decision, but above all, a decision of the heart. Over the years, the Fondation les petits trésors has been able to rely on the unwavering support of individuals, public figures, athletes and large companies to help approximately 350,000 young Quebecers and their families who face mental health challenges or autism on a daily basis. A big thank you to all those who have put forward this mission, including the ambassador and chair of the board of directors of the Fondation les petits trésors, Mrs. Chantal Lacroix," added Mr. Bergeron.
