Caring for the local community</a> in our host cities is a central pillar of Sibos. This year our charity partner is SickKids Foundation</a>, the fundraising arm for The Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto.</em></p> Money donated by Swift, partner exhibitors and Sibos participants before and during Sibos 2023 will support the hospital’s Garry Hurvitz Centre for Brain & Mental Health</a>.</p> The Centre offers an integrated approach to clinical care, research and education, improving the lives of children with brain and mental health disorders.</p> It strives to support all children, regardless of the health challenges they face, in reaching their full potential.</p> Many mental health and neurological challenges begin in childhood. Studying them in a world leading children’s hospital allows researchers to develop innovative therapies to promote better outcomes over a child’s lifetime.</p> By integrating research, education and clinical care across a range of disciplines — psychiatry, neurology, neurosurgery, neuroscience, psychology and social work — across SickKids' large, diverse patient population, the Centre’s experts can inform best practices for SickKids, the Ontario province and the rest of Canada.</p> The Centre also provides research and training opportunities to inspire, educate and mentor future generations of brain and mental health leaders, which is vital to bring ground-breaking ideas to life.</p> Stéphanie Gerniers, Senior Events and Communications Specialist at Swift commented</strong>: “When young people experience mental health challenges it impacts their home, school and work life, and their families, friends and peers.</p> “At least 70% of mental health problems and disorders start during childhood and adolescence, and one in five children in Ontario will experience mental health issues.</p> “The services the Garry Hurvitz Centre provides for children and their families cover every aspect of mental health care, and are invaluable to the Ontario community.”</p> You can donate here</a> to help transform the future of child health.With better mental health, we can create a better world for everyone.You can also visit the SickKids stand in the Lead The Change village during Sibos week to learn more about their work (and claim a delicious cookie while you’re there!).</p> Register now</a> to join us in Toronto from 18-21 September 2023.
