About The Kelty Foundation

At the Kelty Foundation, our mission is to create a meaningful impact by reaching and supporting children and youth precisely when and how they need it most. Over the past 15 years, we raised close to 8 million and achieved significant milestones, including:

The Kelty Mental Health Resource Centre at BC Children's Hospital
The Kelty Dennehy Mental Health Resource Centre at Lions Gate Hospital
VGH/UBC Hospital Foundation - Centre for Excellence - Depression Research
BC Crisis Centre -Suicide Prevention Workshops and 1-on-1 Chat Lines
Key partnerships with BC Crisis Centre, UBC,, Vancouver General Hospital, Jack.org, Whistler Community Services and more.

The Kelty Patrick Dennehy Foundation came to be when Kerry and Ginny Dennehy lost their 17-year-old son, Kelty, to depression and their work was further fueled by the loss of their daughter Riley 7 years later. Their grief ignited a determination to help other children and youth access mental health support. Our aim is to increase prevention, addressing the determinants of mental health problems to more effectively curb and manage them; and improve access to care, making it easier and more available to those in need.
