CMHA 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 free to access and available to anyone living in Nova Scotia.

We work to create a better tomorrow — a tomorrow where all people impacted by mental illness can experience hope, recovery and wellness in a world free of stigma.

Those who choose to support CMHA NS understand that ensuring individuals experience good mental health is good for entire communities.

When you make a financial contribution to the Canadian Mental Health Association Nova Scotia Division you help us make that tomorrow a reality.

You help ensure that no individual or family is alone on their mental health journey. You help provide a network of support and resources, both online and in communities across the province.
