CMHA NS Division Releases New Impact Report; Our Time is Now

CMHA Nova Scotia Division has released the 2021-2022 Impact Report; Our time is Now, which is inspired by the work we have done this year with our branches and partners to improve access to support and tackle the misinformation and ignorance that underlies stigma.

COVID-19 has created a stark awareness that people need more than access to healthcare to have good mental health. Basic needs such as housing, personal safety, reliable access to healthy food, and secure employment are the foundation of wellness. Our society has never been so ready to reinvent our mental health system — a system that provides timely mental health treatment and access, but also secure jobs and safe places to live.

Our work this year has been committed to improving access to the mental health support Nova Scotians need and deserve while pushing social justice and meaningful change.
