History of CMHA Canada

The Canadian Mental Health Association, founded in 1918 and federally incorporated in 1926, is a national voluntary charitable organization dedicated to further the growth of mental health services across Canada.

Today, thousands of staff members and volunteers commit countless hours to support the activities and programs of the Association by providing direct services to those in need, informing the general public, promoting mental well-being for all ages, and keeping mental health concerns high on the government agenda.
