Canadian Mental Health Association - Kenora Branch

Canadian Mental Health Association - Kenora Branch CMHAK is dedicated to providing responsive recovery-oriented mental health services through treatment.

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 nation-wide, voluntary organization, the Canadian Mental Health Association promotes the mental he

alth of all and supports the resilience and recovery of people experiencing mental illness. The CMHAK 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.

Caregiving touches almost every family, workplace, and community, yet too many caregivers are struggling in silence.

Whether it’s supporting a parent, partner, child, or friend, caregiving can be rewarding, but it can also take a serious toll on mental health. Stress, burnout, anxiety, exhaustion, and isolation are more common than many people realize.

This caregiver awareness month, we’re shining a light on the people holding so much together for others. 💚

What a gift to be able to hear from Tyler Smith () who was welcomed to Kenora thanks to this evening.

Tyler is a wonderful story teller, and he credited much of his path through deep tragedy and personal trauma to the people who showed up in a great many ways.

There were many takeaways and nuggets of wisdom, but I wanted to share this one, in particular: “it is never too late to get involved in your own story.” Read: don’t compare your story to others and decide it’s not worth taking steps to shift your path forward. If you’ve found yourself thinking what you have experienced is small by comparison so you’ve just tucked it away, now is the next best time to start making moves to help yourself heal or work through it in a meaningful way, because it matters. Because you matter.

Thank you, Tyler, for being with us today, for helping a room full of folks learn how they can show up for others and how impactful it can be. You matter and your story matters and we won’t forget April 6, 2018.

This Nursing Week, we’re recognizing the nurses across CMHA branches whose work reflects this year’s theme: “The Power of Nurses to Transform Health.” 💚

Every day, CMHA nurses help transform health not only through clinical care, but through connection, advocacy, crisis support and community-based mental health and addictions care.

They:
• assess mental health and substance use needs
• help create personalized care plans
• provide therapeutic and recovery-focused support
• respond in times of crisis
• meet people where they are (at home, in programs and in the community)
• connect people to services and supports
• collaborate with health care and community partners
• advocate for people’s rights and reduce stigma
• help people work toward recovery, stability and their goals

Across Ontario, CMHA nurses are helping people feel supported, understood and connected to care every single day.

To all CMHA nurses: thank you for the compassion, expertise, skill and dedication you bring to our communities.
