Theory of Change
A Canada where mental health is a universal human right
Strengthening the federation
We work with CMHA Branches, Regions and Divisions to create a unified, effective, and highly regarded CMHA federation.
- Nurture a thriving, productive, and healthy internal culture
- Connect and support the federation capacity
- Modernize our structure to create effective and cohesive structure and policies
Social change
We support the public to create a society that understands and fosters good mental health.
- Influence norms, beliefs and behaviours via communications and interventions in key settings to create a climate of acceptance
- Inform the public about mental illness, mental health, and how to take care of them
Systems change
We work with federal policy makers to create a stronger community mental health system in which people in Canada have access to community mental health services.
- Develop public policy positions to improve the community mental health system
- Advocate for change to key decision makers
We undertake this work with a commitment to being inclusive and anti-racist, advancing Indigenous Truth and Reconciliation and including the voices of lived experience of mental illness and mental health issues.
