About Aurora Wellness Foundation
Hope Grows Here.
Aurora Wellness Foundation is an independent Yukon non-profit organization dedicated to reducing barriers to mental health care and strengthening community wellness.
We believe that mental wellness is built not only through access to professional support, but also through strong relationships, connected communities, and opportunities for people to care for one another.
By partnering with communities, First Nations, schools, businesses, organizations, and volunteers, we work to create initiatives that inspire hope, reduce stigma, and make mental health support more accessible across the Yukon.
Our Story
Aurora Wellness Foundation was created from a simple belief: everyone deserves access to mental health care and the opportunity to feel connected, supported, and valued.
For years, Aurora Wellness Group has invested in reducing barriers to care through community partnerships, outreach, and accessible counselling initiatives. As those efforts continued to grow, it became clear that there was an opportunity to do even more by creating a separate organization focused entirely on community wellness, education, and accessibility.
Today, Aurora Wellness Foundation builds on that vision by bringing together individuals, communities, organizations, and businesses to create lasting, community-driven solutions that support mental wellness across the Yukon.
Our Mission
To reduce barriers to mental health care while strengthening community wellness through education, partnerships, fundraising, and initiatives that create connection, belonging, and hope.
