The Jordan Leigh Foundation: A Registered Charity on a Mission to RISE UP for Mental Health and Addiction Support
The Jordan Leigh Foundation is a registered Canadian charity (Charity #781478029 RR0001) dedicated to breaking the stigma surrounding mental health and addiction. Through education, outreach, and direct support, we create a world where no one struggles alone.
The RISE UP Collection
We believe in the power of positive affirmations to support mental well-being. The RISE UP Collection features carefully designed products that inspire and uplift, with all profits funding our mission. Every purchase helps provide therapy funding, educational workshops, and essential resources for those in need. By supporting local craftsmanship and community, we ensure that every item contributes to a greater purpose.
Breaking Down Stigma
Stigma prevents many from seeking help for mental health and addiction. It creates barriers to treatment, fuels self-doubt, and isolates those who need support. Through education and advocacy, we challenge harmful stereotypes and promote compassion.
We encourage open conversations through awareness campaigns, personal storytelling, and school presentations. These presentations educate students about the impact of language, the realities of addiction, and the importance of empathy, empowering them to be part of the change in their communities.
Community Outreach
Engaging Students:
We work with students through interactive workshops that focus on Jordan's story, the dangers of harmful drugs, overdose prevention, and the power of changing our vocabulary to break the stigma surrounding mental health and addiction.
In addition to discussion and education, students take part in hands-on outreach by creating and filling RISE UP Bags for the homeless community. These workshops demonstrate the impact of small acts of kindness and reinforce the idea that compassion is contagious. Each student also receives an item from The RISE UP Collection, reminding them that they are part of a movement toward change.
Helping the Homeless:
We provide direct outreach to the homeless community, offering food, warm clothing, and mental health resources. Our goal is to eliminate the stigma around homelessness through meaningful action, helping individuals rise up and rebuild their lives.
A key part of our outreach is the distribution of RISE UP Bags, filled with essential items and supportive resources. By personally delivering these bags, we not only provide immediate relief but also foster a sense of dignity and connection.
Therapy Funding Through Body & Sole Clinic
Access to mental health care should never be out of reach. The Jordan Leigh Foundation provides therapy funding through our partnership with Body & Sole Clinic, ensuring individuals in need receive professional support regardless of their financial situation.
Therapy services include psychotherapy, which helps individuals navigate challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and addiction by providing tools to build resilience and coping strategies. With a holistic approach to mental wellness, Body & Sole Clinic offers compassionate care tailored to each individual’s needs.
Future Goals
Supporting Grieving Families
We aspire to provide financial support to families who have lost loved ones to suicide or drug overdoses. This includes assistance with bills, groceries, and funeral costs, recognizing that grief should not come with additional financial hardship.
