Mental Health For All

The system is broken

The current system is not meeting the mental health needs of people in Canada. Our “universal health-care” system doesn’t guarantee access to many basic mental health services.

 The solution is community  

CMHA believes in care before There is so much more that can be done in communities to promote mental health, prevent mental illness and intervene early.

School-based approaches, such as social and emotional learning (SEL) programs, which teach age-appropriate social and emotional skills, can help students develop impulse control and self-regulation, manage anger and stress, identify emotions in others, feel empathy, listen and communicate and get along with others.

A climate of understanding

Rather than just tackling stigma, the Canadian Mental Health Association is committed to tackling the misunderstandings that underlie stigma to push for social justice and real change.
