For over twenty years, New Path Youth and Family Services (New Path) has been increasing the accessibility of mental health services for children, youth, and families in Simcoe County. Fostering healthy, strong communities is at the core of our work. We believe that leading with evidence-based and empathetic service delivery is key to providing exceptional care. A multi-service approach allows us to see the big picture for clients, understanding their unique needs and how best to integrate our supports into their journey.

On behalf of our organization, I would like to extend my gratitude for your continued support of child and youth mental health across Simcoe County. Thanks to generous donors like you, this past year, we were able to touch the lives of 3,214 children, youth and their families in our community. This is a HUGE accomplishment as we continue to work to support our community in the aftermath of pandemic lockdowns and school disruptions, which we, as a community are only beginning to understand.

Last year at New Path, we saw an increase of almost 800 clients over the previous year. As our communities continue to grow in size and diversity, and as more children and youth access our services when and where they need them, we anticipate even more demand for mental health support.

"New Path has provided us with support and helped us during times of crisis. I am forever grateful for the help. It has helped me be the parent I want to be for my child. It has provided an outlet of support for my kids. I would recommend it to anyone struggling with kids. Keep up the great work."

Because mental health can’t wait, we ask for your continued support as we work to fulfill our mission to ensure that children and youth have integrated, accessible, and inclusive mental health services when and where they need them. Our vision is for healthy, thriving and connected communities that support personal growth and wellbeing and we will continue to support our communities' children, youth and families by providing crucial mental health supports while raising awareness and working to end the stigma around mental illness.

Thank you for your commitment to our children’s futures. We could not do it without you!

In appreciation,

Elizabeth McKeeman, CEO New Path Youth & Family Services
