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, National accomplishes its mission through advocacy, education, research and service. For example, as a social advocate, we encourage public action and commitment to strengthening community mental health services, policies and legislation affecting those services. We submit policy statements and briefs to the federal government on behalf of all Canadians. We also collaborate wherever and whenever possible on common issues with mental health service providers, federal government, community organizations, consumers of mental health services and their families. We promote and create innovative programs that address mental health issues; our mental health projects are based on principles of empowerment, peer and family support, participation in decision-making, citizenship, and inclusion in community life. Our programs assist with employment, housing, early intervention for youth, peer support, recreational services, stress reduction workshops, and public education campaigns.
