About the Canadian Mental Health Association
The Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA), founded in 1918, is one of the oldest voluntary organizations in Canada. Each year, we provide direct service to more than 100,000 Canadians through the combined efforts of more than 10,000 volunteers and staff across Canada in over 120 communities.
As a nationwide, voluntary organization, the Canadian Mental Health Association promotes the mental health of all and supports the resilience and recovery of people experiencing mental illness. The CMHA accomplishes this mission through advocacy, education, research and service.
CMHA branches across Canada provide a wide range of innovative services and supports to people who are experiencing mental illness and their families. These services are tailored to the needs and resources of the communities where they are based. One of the core goals of these services is to help people with mental illness develop the personal tools to lead meaningful and productive lives.

The 2019 – 2024 Strategic Plan identifies future directions and priorities for the next five years.

Welcome to the Community of Practice course for all PSR RPS Canada members!
What is a community of practice?
- A community of practice is a group of people who share a common concern, problem, or interest in a topic and who come together to fulfill both individual and group goals.
- Communities of practice often focus on sharing best practices and creating new knowledge to advance a domain of professional practice. Interaction on an ongoing basis is an important part of this.
- Many communities of practice rely on face-to-face meetings and web-based collaborative environments to communicate, connect and conduct community activities.
This space allows you to create and participate in discussions with other members across Canada and the world, sharing best practices, discussing emerging trends, and more!

In the early 1980’s CMHA, Manitoba Division wanted to create a strong Winnipeg Regional office.
Members were recruited for a board and work began on determining the priority mental health issues for Winnipeg.
In 1984 the CMHA, Winnipeg Region was formally incorporated. In keeping with the Board’s perspective on the need to improve the quality of services available the agency began by exploring creative service options.
The agency conducted research and found that housing was one of the most critical needs of persons living with serious mental health problems.
The Supportive Housing Program was then developed and was based on the principles of choice and control and in integrated community housing. It evolved into the Options in Support and Housing program in 1992 changing from a cooperative housing model to individualized support and a full range of housing options in the community.
A second area of major importance for the agency was the area of advocacy and the rights of consumers. In 1987 a Mental Health Advocate Service was established and by 1993, included a 14-week skill development program called the Personal Empowerment Program which trained 30 people each year.
Meaningful employment is one of the most important factors in a person’s level of life satisfaction and yet it was an area that the mental health system hadn’t responded to in a significant way.
In 1991 a supported employment program, Employment Dimensions began operation and assisted people to choose, get and keep employment in the competitive workplace.
In recent years the Options In Support and Housing program and Employment Dimensions were separately managed and funded.
In an effort to create a more comprehensive service, where participants could work on any goal in the areas of living, learning and working the two programs amalgamated in 2004 under the name Rehabilitation and Recovery Service.
Public education has always played a significant role in CMHA, Winnipeg Region’s activities. Through public presentations, training, Mental Health Week, the distribution of brochures and other material there is a promotion of awareness and understanding of mental illness in the community.
Since its formation CMHA, Winnipeg Region has contributed to and participated in numerous coalitions and working groups in the area of mental health, housing, employment and disability issues with the goal to improve the quality of life for people living with serious mental health problems.
Within the various roles and projects it has undertaken CMHA has remained true to its belief in choice, respect, personal growth and recovery.
