      The importance of empathy and inclusion cannot be overstated in
these changing and often uncertain times. The Hong Fook Mental Health
Foundation has, for nearly 40 years, been an exceptional source of
guidance in serving members of the East and Southeast Asian
communities living in the Greater Toronto Area.

      Through an integrated approach to wellbeing, and the provision of
culturally and linguistically appropriate care, the foundation and its
supporters have built a more resilient and caring society, enriching the
lives of countless patients and their families.

     This comes with my best wishes for an enjoyable celebration of
such a proud legacy.

               A MESSAGE FROM PREMIER DOUG FORD

I’m delighted to extend greetings to everyone attending the
2019 Hong Fook Gala, hosted by the Hong Fook Mental Health
Foundation.

I’d like to commend the Hong Fook Mental Health Association for its 37
years of dedication to providing culturally and linguistically appropriate
community-based mental health services to members of the Cambodian,
Chinese, Korean and Vietnamese communities. My thanks also go out to
everyone at the Hong Fook Mental Health Foundation for their tireless
support of the association’s programs and services.

Our government believes it’s time to take the mental health of our young
people, adults and families as seriously as their physical health. We are
committed to working closely with frontline care providers and
stakeholders to ensure that Ontarians get the mental health care they
need. Over 10 years, we will invest $1.9 billion, matched by a federal
investment, to make $3.8 billion available to support Ontarians in the
areas of mental health, addictions and housing. We all have a part to play
in reducing the stigma around mental health and making sure everyone —
all Ontarians — have access to services they need.

I’d also like to acknowledge everyone who has turned out to support this
gala evening of fundraising. Thanks to your generosity, Ontarians will be
able to benefit from the supportive and caring environment offered by
Hong Fook’s youth program.

Best wishes for an enjoyable and successful gala.

Doug Ford
Premier

Proudly supporting the
2019 Hong Fook Gala
Message from the
                                     Association President

I am pleased to welcome everyone attending the Hong Fook
Mental Health Foundation’s Annual Gala and to thank the countless
volunteers who made this event possible. Your generous support is
the true foundation of Hong Fook’s work.

This year, we celebrate “Journey of Hope” as the theme of the Gala.
This is all the more timely given the recent announcement from the
provincial government to reform the health care system in Ontario.
Under the newly proposed system, health care providers will come
together to form Health Care Teams to deliver more client-focused
integrated care for individuals. As a mental health service and
program delivery organization, Hong Fook is in the position to
play an impactful role in the future model of healthcare in Ontario.
Already, the important work of positioning the Association has
begun. The Association’s leadership team has been holding regular
meetings with health care providers and various stakeholders to
ensure that culturally competent mental health care is accessible to
all those who need it under the new system.

I also wish to take this opportunity to highlight and congratulate the staff and volunteers of the Association for
receiving international recognition for their work. Last month, Hong Fook Mental Health Association received
the American Psychiatric Association Foundation Award for Advancing Minority Mental Health for 2019, marking
the first time this prestigious award was given to a community-based mental health organization outside the
United States!

In closing, I wish to thank the Gala organizers and volunteers, the staff and the leadership team at Hong Fook,
and donors like you who continue to walk with us in our Journey of Hope.

Sincerely,

John Joon Suk Park
President, Hong Fook Mental Health Association
