Donor Impact Report

Popular, personable and an elite level athlete, in the eyes of many Cody was living the dream. “I come from a great

family,” says Cody before participating in a group at Ontario Shores’ Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP). “I had a great childhood, I had friends and all that.”

It was in his teenage years that he began his struggle with clinical depression. While the people in his life have generally been

supportive throughout his journey, it was difficult, at times, for those around him to understand what he was dealing with.

“One of my Dad’s favourite sayings is ‘If has to get done, just get it done’,” he explains. “But when we you are in the dark place, it’s not that easy.”

Born and raised in Oshawa, Cody says his battle with depression started around the time he hit puberty. In front of friends, family and teammates, Cody was just a regular kid. However, privately, his struggles, which included self-harm, were escalating and he needed help.

Treatment and medication has helped Cody get his life back. The father of two is a refrigeration mechanic who spends his free time working as an umpire on ball fields in Durham Region and other communities in southern Ontario. He is 31. There was a time he didn’t think he would live to see 21.

Offering support in his recovery has been PHP, which is a short-term day treatment program at Ontario Shores for individuals with a serious and persistent mental illness. “PHP has been great,” says Cody. “A lot of the skills they teach seem like common sense, but it’s how they deliver it that makes the difference.”

As he continues to move forward in life, Cody is determined to help others. He speaks openly about his journey with mental illness through an initiative called Fighting The Truth, which is a collection of former hockey players who share their experience in an effort to raise awareness within the sport around depression, alcohol and substance abuse, and sexual abuse.

“I want to help people,” he says. “I’m an open book. If sharing my experience can help someone else get the help they need sooner, I’m happy.”

The excitement is building! The word is getting out about the incredible work Ontario Shores provides in a recovery-

oriented environment of care built on compassion, inspiration and hope.

Ontario Shores is a patient centred, innova-tive teaching hospital located in Whitby over-looking beautiful Lake Ontario. We provide exemplary mental health care to help people of all ages – from youth to seniors – achieve their recovery goals. We help them create their own meaningful futures.
