About Multiplied By One Org

The Meaning Of ONE

Multiplied By One Org is a Canadian Registered Charity for trauma and dissociative disorders and their loved ones. 

The origins of this organization’s name came from the fact that any number multiplied by one remains the same. Just like one person may have many parts or states, they are also “one whole” in functional multiplicity.

There are very few resources for dissociative disorders, particularly Dissociative Identity Disorder. In Canada, like other countries, institutions and organizations know little, if anything, about treating this community. We seek to be part of the change.

Where there are few services, build them. When there is no hope, create it.

Multiplied By One is not led by manpower. The few of us making this engine turn for this cause are driven by willpower.
