We are so proud of our Amal Behavioural Health team for stepping up in support of Make-A-Wish Canada through the Ice Bubble Bath challenge ❄️💙

Every 20 minutes, a child is diagnosed with a critical illness. With three new diagnoses every hour, the need for support is constant, and the power of a wish is truly life-changing. Wishes are not just moments of joy; they are an essential part of a child’s treatment journey, bringing hope, strength, and resilience when it’s needed most.

Our team set out with a modest goal… and absolutely blew it away, raising nearly five times their goal 👏

This is what community looks like. This is what compassion in action looks like.

Thank you to everyone who donated, supported, and cheered them on. Together, we are helping bring more wishes to life ✨
