In crisis? The best support doesn’t always come in the form of a police officer.

CMHA Halton and Halton Regional Police Service launch a new 9-1-1 diversion program.

Together, we’re expanding capacity for community members calling 9-1-1 by providing in-the-moment support from a CMHA Halton crisis specialist when appropriate.

"You wouldn't run your car on empty and expect it to perform well. Yet we do this to ourselves constantly." 🚗⛽

Self-care isn't self-indulgent—it's essential. When life gets overwhelming, caring for ourselves is often the first thing we abandon. But here's the truth: it's proactive, deliberate, and absolutely critical to our wellbeing.

The science backs it up: regular self-care ✨
→ Improves mental health
→ Enhances self-esteem
→ Increases optimism
→ Reduces anxiety & depression symptoms
→ Builds resilience
Your self-care might be a morning walk 🚶‍♀️, meditation 🧘‍♂️, or setting screen time boundaries 📱. The key is finding what genuinely nourishes YOU.

If you're not taking care of yourself, who will? 💙

Mental health isn't a destination—it's a journey. 🗺️

And every journey needs different kinds of support:
- Crisis intervention when you're in immediate need
- Counselling for deeper healing
- Peer support for ongoing connection
- Community resources for long-term wellness

We're here for all of it. All of you. Always.

It doesn't matter where you are or what the need is. We're here. 🤝

Part of unmasking mental health is dispelling the myth that self-care is self-indulgence. Self-care is proactive and deliberate and it’s critical to our mental and physical wellbeing. We should all practice self-care in some form every day from ensuring we get a good night’s rest to getting help when we need it.

On International Self-care Day we encourage you to practice some self-care. Use our permission slip as a mental commitment to honoring that practice. Check out the link in our bio.

"We all need to feel like we belong and that others care about our well-being." 💙

Connection isn't just nice to have in mental health recovery—it's essential.

When mental health services are close to home, in familiar places where you already live and connect, healing happens differently.

At CMHA Halton, we bring support directly to your community because we know attachment begins with accessibility. ✨

16/07/2025

When we embed mental health services within the communities where people live, work, and connect daily, something powerful happens: therapeutic relationships can actually form.

In Halton region, accessibility isn't just about removing barriers—it's about creating the foundation for attachment and healing. Our community-based approach recognizes that:

🏠 Services close to home build trust faster

🤝 Peer connections reduce isolation and increase hope

📱 Mobile crisis response maintains relationships during vulnerable moments

🌟 Familiar environments support sustainable recovery

As CMHA research shows, "we all need to feel like we belong and that others care about our well-being." This isn't just good practice—it's evidence-based mental health care.
