Get Involved

One in four Nova Scotians will experience a mental illness in any given year.  But four in four – all of us – have mental health. And we all need to take care of it.

With your help, CMHA NS  is working to keep people mentally healthy in the first place. To act before mental illness, so that it doesn’t take hold. Our work is about keeping people out of crisis. It is about keeping people out of hospitals, both before mental illness can occur, and after a crisis has passed.

Want to get involved in this life-changing work? There are many ways to give!

Sponsor a Program

The Canadian Mental Health Association Nova Scotia Division supports the resilience, recovery and well-being of people living with a mental illness and those experiencing mental health challenges across the province. Our programs are designed to help all Nova Scotians develop the tools to live emotionally healthy lives based on the social determinants of health. 

If you’re interested in sponsoring a CMHA NS program there are a number of great ways to get involved. These initiatives strive to create tangible impact in our communities and help spread awareness of mental health in our province. Questions?
