The Canadian Mental Health Association/PEI Division is a volunteer and community-based organization that began its work on Prince Edward Island as a division of CMHA National in 1959. CMHA/PEI’s programs and services are delivered throughout the province. There are self-esteem and suicide prevention programs within most schools; mental health education sessions and seminars are delivered across the Island; resource libraries are located in three communities; there are three Clubhouse Programs which provide employment, residential, education and pre-vocational opportunities to people with mental illness and there is a White Cross program providing social and recreational activities for adults experiencing mental and emotional disorders.

CMHA has been part of the health care delivery system of this community for over 45 years. CMHA Niagara is an amalgamation of two former Branches, Niagara South and St Catharines. As a charter of the Canadian Mental Health Association, the CMHA Niagara Branch is part of a national network of 135 service providers, 33 of which are in Ontario.

As the largest specialized or 'tertiary' centre east of Toronto our programs are aimed at treating people with complex and serious mental illnesses that are often resistant to conventional treatments. In addition to inpatient beds, the majority of these programs feature day treatment options and outreach activities for patients living in the community. Each and every one of us has a personal connection to mental illness given that one out of every five people in Canada is affected. They are our mothers, brothers, colleagues and friends – they are those we know and love and we want to ensure they receive the very best care when they need it. The need for support has never been greater -please donate as generously as you can today to help us make a difference.

Canadian Mental Health Association/Peel Branch began in 1962 when members set out to persuade the Mississauga Hospital Board to create a psychiatric unit. CMHA/Peel has steadily grown from a handful of staff to more than 75 who serve in 12 programs, including a resource centre, two clubhouses, a drop-in, outreach for adults and youth, case management, court support, and its newest program, CMHA/Peel ACT (Assertive Community Treatment). Celebrating its 45th year serving residents of Brampton, Caledon and Mississauga, which make up the Region of Peel, CMHA/Peel operates on a RECOVERY philosophy. The CMHA "Framework for Support" defines RECOVERY as "regaining a significant degree of control in one's life and finding a positive sense of self and a meaningful place in the world. The illness loses its central and life-defining position and takes on a more secondary role ...RECOVERY needs to be achieved not once, but over and over again."
