About Us
Our Story
The Vivago Mental Health Foundation was born out of a deep
commitment to mental health accessibility. On September 11, 2024,
four core members of Clinique Vivago took a crucial step toward long-term change after witnessing firsthand the overwhelming demand for inclusive mental health care.
The initiative started during Projet Viv-Action Jeunesse, a two-month crowdfunding campaign from August 1 to September 30, 2024, aimed at funding free mental health services for young adults in Quebec with a focus on the 2SLGBTQIA+ community. With the generous support of individuals and organizations, including le Secrétariat à la jeunesse du Québec, the campaign raised an impressive $58,585.
​
Throughout the initiative, the team was continually reminded of the systemic barriers preventing marginalized individuals from accessing care. What started as a fundraising effort quickly became a call to action; one that could not be ignored. Determined to create lasting impact beyond a single campaign, they established the Vivago Mental Health Foundation to sustainably support mental health equity in the long term.
