About Multiplied By One Org

The Meaning Of ONE

The origins of the concept behind the name of this organization came from how any number multiplied by one will be as it was. Just like one person may have many parts, they can also be one, or a whole of parts, 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 a change.

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

Mission: Providing an access point in self-help, information, and qualified support

Vision: To instil a validation of individual experience that is so widespread, it fills the gap in mental health equality

Values

Authenticity: Be true to our values; wear them and live by them
Inclusivity: Dedication to making support & services accessible for all
Allyship: People come first. Help them up
Community: A collaboration with peers to create a pillar of positive change and camaraderie

Volunteer Driven

Multiplied By One Org is volunteer driven at its core, as the Board Of Directors and founder are hard at work and dedicated to providing services for the community.

Valued volunteers offer time and skills to host online support groups, assist with member intake screenings, magazine articles, volunteer coordination, grant research and writing, marketing, and app development.

As programs grow, the need for volunteers rises, which will allow an expansion of value in what we offer, as well as build supportive camaraderie according to Core Values.
