The Education/Volunteer Services Program is aimed at increasing community understanding of mental illness and issues impacting on mental health.  In addition to community education it offers a unique opportunity for clients and the general public to be an integral part of CMHA through volunteer service and commitment.

Presentations and Workshops are provided on a variety of topics such as stress, depression, schizophrenia, myths of mental illness, suicide awareness and an overview of agency and community services. These presentations can be geared to professionals, family members or the general public.

Information and referral is a service to assist individuals in obtaining information on mental health or illnesses and support services appropriate to their needs.

Group Support includes the Family Mutual Support Group for family members who have attended the Family Education Series and the Suicide Mutual Support Group for individuals who have lost a loved one to death by suicide.
