Donate to CMHA - Canadian Mental Health Association Calgary Region
I am deeply passionate about fitness, mental health, and helping others. RUN Calgary provides an incredible platform that allows me to combine these passions in a meaningful way each year. One of my proudest achievements is being part of an amazing company that supports both me and my colleagues on this journey. I’m thrilled to announce that we now have an official Ballad Running Team, and I couldn’t be more proud to represent it as the team captain and take the lead on this initiative!
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.
