Mental Health is one of the most important parts of a human. Whether you are a teen, adult, or a senior mental health affects your everyday way of living. It's important to understand the stresses and anxieties that can negatively affect mental health. Anxiety and other mental challenges can make it difficult to find support or help that is needed to ease the effects it can have. The CMHA focuses on the support and recoveries needed when faced with these difficulties. They are non-profit and will help give support to the people who need it. They offer tools and focus on many aspects of mental health. As someone who is challenged with anxiety like many others, I would like to bring more attention to this 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.
