Elevated Grounds (EG) is a ten year old youth-led, elder-mentored organization that educates, elevates and entertains by using creative and informative theatrical based performances.

EG has delivered its message of mental health promotion to over 80’000 youth in schools and human service agencies throughout
Toronto and across Ontario. Taboos and myths related to mental disorders have kept too many in the dark for too long due to it being an overlooked aspect of health education. Elevated Grounds is taking a proactive and innovative approach to shine light on what is affecting one in every five Canadians.

Elevated Grounds is passionate about increasing awareness and breaking down barriers about mental health by exploring the challenges of how our society and communities perceive, feel about and cope with mental disorders. Of equal importance, performances portray and promote the critical aspect of mental health and the community’s overall health and wellness. Elevated Grounds believes in holistic treatment services that are innovative, non-institutionalized, youth-friendly and culturally sensitive. Most often, mental health services are neither very accessible nor well utilized by youth.
