| Description | The Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) exists to promote the mental health of all people. The work of the organization focuses on combating mental health problems and emotional disorders. The tools include research and information services, sponsored research projects, education, workshops, seminars, pamphlets, newsletters and resource services.
In addition, CMHA acts as a social advocate to encourage public action and commitment to strengthening community mental health services and legislation and policies affecting services. All the mental health projects are based on principles of empowerment, peer and family support, participation in decision-making, citizenship, and inclusion in community life.
Services available:
Information and Education Services: Mental health library, Grand River Mental Health and addictions directery, brochures and information sheets, workshops and educational events, leisure information, access to office equipment, internet access (Cap computers), advocacy and skill development.
Referral Services: The Referral Service provides the opportunity for people to learn about and access services within the community from a centralized location. The Referral Service is based on an in-depth exploration of the person's desires and needs through several meetings. Based on the discussion, the staff member is able to provide the person with suggested options she/he may pursue, related to generic services, mental health support services (including those provided by the Centres for Mental Health) and mental health treatment services. The Referral Service provides active assistance to the person in reaching out and connecting to the community, as well as providing follow-up support.
Support Services: The Centres for Mental Health provide flexible and holistic support for individuals who struggle with a significant mental health issue so that they may live and fully participate in their community. Intensive support to short-term crisis support, to intermittent support is provided as needed.
The Centre works with the person to coordinate support services and to overcome barriers in order for that person to choose, get, and keep housing, employment, education, leisure, relationships, financial stability and social pursuits.
