About CMHA Nova Scotia Division
Our Vision: A Canada where mental health is a universal human right.
Our Mission: We empower and support the voices of all those seeking assistance on their mental health journey.
Founded in 1908, CMHA Nova Scotia is one of Canada’s oldest mental health charities.
We foster recovery and well-being through programs that support Nova Scotians with housing, employment, workplace training programs, education, and peer support. We work with our branches in Halifax, Colchester East-Hants, and Southwest Nova to promote mental health and support the recovery of individuals facing mental illness across the province.
In 2024, CMHA NS received accreditation under Imagine Canada’s national Standards Program. The Standards Program is a Canada-wide set of shared standards for charities and nonprofits designed to strengthen practices in five fundamental areas: board governance; financial accountability and transparency; fundraising; staff management; and volunteer involvement.
With this achievement, CMHA Nova Scotia Division joins a community of more than 120 organizations dedicated to operational excellence.
Nova Scotians can rely on CMHA-NS for:
- Advocacy: Working with our partners, we push for new systems, policies, and practices that increase community capacity and foster better mental health and well-being for all Nova Scotians and address the social determinants of health.
- Education: We promote greater understanding of mental health issues through inclusive, evidence-based mental health programming and education across the province. We are committed to ensuring this programming is accessible and meets the evolving mental health needs of Nova Scotians.
- Resource Navigation: We connect all people in Nova Scotia with safe, inclusive, culturally relevant, accessible mental health programs, services, and support. We are committed to expanding our network and building strong connections with our community partners across the province to ensure we meet these needs.
