Here at Iris, we work to create accessible and impactful tools to help educate on the topic of mental health and improve mental wellness in society.
Mental health education is fundamental
Our Approach
In order to achieve our vision, we, at Iris, have developed an extensively tested approach to creating quality mental health resources. Our innovative, three principled approach rooted in storytelling has proven effective in helping foster attitudinal change in individuals from all life stages.
Prepare For Life
Good mental health throughout life can increase resilience, helping protect against mental illness and act as a buffer for normal stressors and hardships that everyone experiences. Iris focuses its development of mental health literacy resources based on the Life Course Approach.
Supporting Dementia Caregivers
An online training program designed using scenario based learning, to arm caregivers with necessary skills to help them better understand their role and provide the best experience to those living with dementia.
Support Mental Health Education
Donate to help provide more mental health resources.
At Iris, our mission is to develop accessible tools and products to help practice good mental health and wellness throughout one's life. To date, we have donated over $1.2 million worth of resources and with your support we can grow further.
A generous gift of $10 CAD (or foreign currency equivalent) can cover the cost of a printed book donation to a school or frontline mental health organization. Donations can also be made to support our current resource development projects.
