Hello everyone!
If you have made your way to this page, thank you! It is always awesome to be supported by my family, friends and community. To see that support extended to the great work being done at the Canadian Mental Health Association is an awesome bonus!
Running is new for me. It is an uncomfortable yet interesting challenge of perseverance and movement that I have yet to master. It is a humbling experience that I am excited to share with my colleagues and community as we push ourselves and support a great cause!
Thank you for reading and supporting the Canadian Mental Health Association!
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.
