Hi everyone!
I have decided that 2024 will be the year that I take action on my goal of running in a marathon. This year it will be 5km, and hopefully next year will be 10km or more! I have been reminded many, many times that physical health affects mental health. This is why I am acting now, to push myself in the pursuit of a healthy body and mind. And, this is why I have chosen Canadian Mental Health Association – Calgary Region as my charity this year. I kindly ask that if you can, please donate to this organization. Mental Health For All.
Description
It is Canadian Mental Health Association – Calgary Region’s (CMHA Calgary) mission to be a leader in reducing the impact of mental illness and addiction in community. For more than 60 years, we have provided a person and family centered integrated service model focused on early intervention and prevention of a mental health or substance use concern that delivers a measurable increase in community resiliency.
Our long standing belief is that recovery is possible. Our recovery model focuses on wellness by shifting the emphasis from a narrow, limiting view of a diagnosis, towards empowering individuals, building their strengths, resiliency and hope for a meaningful life. This recovery is demonstrated in the advancement of Peer Support where individuals with personal experience of a mental health or substance use concern are trained to support others through shared understanding and hope.
