Suzanne Crone’s mental health struggles caused her to feel a dark, spiralling hopelessness and loneliness. Thanks to the help she received through the Nanji Family Mental Health Services at Oak Valley Health’s Markham Stouffville Hospital (MSH), Suzanne not only has hope — she gained the tools to cope and is also using her powerful story to help others. She credits the kindness and empathy she received from MSH’s staff for helping her feel like she was safe and that she was going to be okay. Suzanne is just one of many in the community who struggle with their mental health, in fact the demand for mental health services has risen 25% in recent years. Expanding mental wellness services for both adults, as well as youth and adolescents, is critical. Which is why your help is needed today.
