Second, Broadridge is encouraging associates to volunteer their time and participate in donation-matching efforts such as KHP’s flagship annual fundraiser, the BMO Walk so Kids Can Talk™, deepening the company’s impact through community involvement. Third, Broadridge is offering executive technology sponsorship to KHP to support innovations in data systems and digital tools to better meet the evolving needs of youth in Canada.
“We’re deeply grateful to Broadridge for their shared commitment to youth mental health,” said Susan Morris, Interim President & CEO, Kids Help Phone. “Their support allows us to deliver real impact in classrooms across the country while building a stronger, more connected mental health safety net for young people in Canada.”
With over 50 years of service in Canada and nearly 1,000 associates nationwide, Broadridge is deeply committed to the communities where they live and work. This collaboration is a natural extension of Broadridge Canada’s broader role in the Canadian economy, where its platforms support millions of Canadians through solutions tied to education savings, disability and retirement plans, and financial empowerment. This partnership with KHP will help expand access to mental health support so that more young people across Canada can reach trusted support in the moments that they need it most.
