We Support
CMHA – Calgary Region builds awareness and provides education and support for individuals and families living with mental illness, addiction, or a loss by suicide. We work closely with other community organizations to bridge gaps in the mental health care system and facilitate access to important services and resources. We support:
-
Individuals
CMHA – Calgary Region supports individuals with a mental health or substance use concern to live independently in the community by providing: emotional support and encouragement; life skills coaching in areas such as budgeting, nutrition, self-care and wellness; referrals for professional, community, and social supports and resources; education and awareness around mental health; and the development of strong coping skills to manage their recovery and wellness.
Through our Workshops & Classes, Drop-in Groups and One-on-One Supports, individuals can access opportunities to learn skills and access resources to manage their mental health and their recovery.
-
Families
CMHA – Calgary Region builds awareness and provides education and support for individuals and families with a mental health or substance use concern, or a loss by suicide. Family and friends often have a difficult time coping and wonder how best to help a relative or friend with a mental health or substance use concern. Through our Workshops & Classes, Drop-in Groups and One-on-One Supports, family members can access support and specific information and resources to aid individuals in maximizing their ability to assist those affected with a mental health or substance use concern or loss by suicide while staying balanced in the process.

Client Experience Survey
Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) – Calgary Region is working to continuously improve based on feedback received by individuals who have participated in our programs/services. Collection of information from the Client Experience Surveys will be used for the purpose of program evaluation and planning. All feedback provided through the Client Experience Survey is anonymous – we are not asking for your name. Data will be aggregated, which means, the collective information will not allow for individual identification.
