The CMHA Logo
The Fanciful Person characterizes the abstract human figure and symbolizes the development of the whole person. The four solid triangles represent the association's four areas of activity: community service, social action, public education, and research.

Our primary goal has been to develop a support system for individuals with mental illnesses, including life skills and pre-vocational training, socialization, job placement, counseling referrals, housing , community awareness and education.
The National Canadian Mental Health Association is a nonprofit organization made up of provincial bodies and local branches. Each year CMHA divisions and branches across the country provide service to more than 100,000 Canadians through combined efforts of more than 10,000 volunteers and staff in locally run organizations in all provinces and territories, with branches in more than 135 communities.
The Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) promotes the mental health of the community and supports the resilience and recovery of people experiencing mental illness. We supply much needed supports, services and rehabilitation to individuals in the community who are experiencing mental illness. We do this through information resources, educational events, direct services, and research and advocacy. We also exist to provide public education and assist in the removal of discrimination attached to mental illness while providing information contributing to the individual's mental wellness and the community at large.
