About FYM
Free Your Mind Mental Health Society (FYM) is a youth-led not-for-profit organization. Mental health is a universal topic that deserves a level of awareness we have yet to achieve. FYM promotes mindful lifestyles that focus on well-being and happiness. We deliver meaningful education to the Canadian public while amplifying genuine youth voice.
FYM is dedicated to equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) across its programs. We are committed to anti-oppression in multiple forms, including de-colonization, anti-racism, and anti-ableism. Our team includes people identifying as racialized, queer, transgender, neurodivergent, disabled, and foreign-born. We are always welcoming new volunteers who embody a range of lived experiences.
