Aquarium Foundation: Supporting Youth Mental Health in Canada

Our Mission

Aquarium Foundation is the only analytic foundation in Canada specifically focused on meeting the needs of children and adolescents. Our primary goal is to improve access to psychoanalytic treatments, helping young people receive the mental health care they need.

Mental Health Challenges for Youth

Over 3.2 million adolescents in Canada are at risk of suffering from depression, yet only 20% of them receive any form of service. This alarming statistic underlines the urgent need for greater mental health support and resources for young people.

Proven Effectiveness of Psychodynamic Psychotherapy

Psychodynamic psychotherapy is backed by a growing body of evidence demonstrating not only its effectiveness in treatment, but also the long-term sustainability of its outcomes. Aquarium Foundation supports the use of these therapies to ensure lasting benefits for youth.

Psychotherapy Grants: Renewable grants to initiate, extend, or intensify psychoanalytic psychotherapy.
