Families need our help today.
Last year, as many as 5,500 Ontario youth would have benefited from live-in treatment – had it been available - but there are only 137 Ministry of Health-funded youth addiction treatment beds in Ontario. This isn’t good enough. Young people and their families need somewhere to heal, and Pine River is that place.
Our Annual Report is a testament to the generosity and kindness of the people and organizations that give young people and their families hope. Read now.

Give a one-time gift.
We are all impacted by mental health; if not yourself, then someone you care about is struggling today. Our Centre for Family Initiatives provides community-based resources to all families in need of help. With your support, we can continue to provide family-based therapy to families across Ontario and nationwide.
Monthly giving.
Committing to a monthly gift is about more that just the money - it is your unwavering support of youth mental health and addictions. Even contributing as little as $50 every month can provide much-needed support and treatment for youth, their families and their communities.
Honour a memory.
Honour the life of someone you love by giving a gift in their name. Whether their passion was mental health, addictions support, youth, or just making the world a better place for future generations, you can celebrate the life of someone by giving hope to a family in crisis.
