Jean Coutu and Chantal Lacroix are very proud to announce that they are partnering to raise funds for the Fondation les petits trésors, a non-profit organization dedicated exclusively to promoting the mental health of children and youth in Quebec. Its mission is to support and improve child and youth mental health research and to raise awareness of pediatric mental health.
Starting now and until December 31st, support the cause by purchasing the “Moment de douceur” (“Sweet moment”) fleece throw in participating Jean Coutu stores of Québec. For every throw sold, Jean Coutu and Chantal Lacroix commit to donate $4 each to the Fondation les petits trésors, for a total of $8. It’s both an ideal gift to give your loved ones for the holidays and a way to serve a good cause.
Behavioural problems, attention disorders, mental disorders and autism affect an estimated 250,000 children and youth, or more than one child in five. The lives of 350,000 families in Quebec are touched by mental illness. There is a serious lack of resources for parents and children. By purchasing the “Moment de douceur” (“Sweet moment”) fleece throw, you’ll help move child mental health research and care forward, while giving parents a break.
