Canadian Mental Health Association, Vancouver-Fraser

Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) is one of the Canada’s most established national mental health charities. Our vision is mentally healthy people in a healthy society. As the nation-wide leader and champion for mental health, CMHA helps people access the community resources to build resilience and support recovery from mental illness or addiction. We do this by building capacity, influencing policy, providing services and developing resources. 

CMHA, Vancouver-Fraser branch has been serving the Metro Vancouver area since 1958. We believe everyone deserves to be mentally healthy and live in a healthy community. By offering community-based mental health education, services, and supports for children, youth, adults and seniors, CMHA, Vancouver-Fraser contributes to the long-term health and wellbeing of our communities.

Thanks to the BMO Vancouver Marathon RUN4HOPE program, runners can raise money for our branch to provide essential support for critical mental health programs. Your efforts make a real difference for people living with mental health challenges:

• Children living with a parent experiencing mental illness, and students feeling depressed, anxious — or even worse – suicidal
• Chinese seniors who live alone with isolation, loneliness and depression
• Firefighters and First Responders who struggle every single day with trauma, work-related stress and total exhaustion
