Canadian Mental Health Association, Alberta and Centre for Suicide Prevention

About

Canadian Mental Health Association, Alberta Division and Centre for Suicide Prevention (CMHA AB + CSP) work to advance community mental health and suicide prevention across the province.

Together with CMHA Regions, we’re building an Alberta where people’s wellbeing is supported in their community – by a friend, a peer, a support group, their local CMHA office, or the medical system.

We don’t do it alone! Collaboration is key. Together with our partners, including CMHA Regions, workplaces, social agencies, local community groups, and government we can build mentally healthy communities where people live and thrive.

Our Impact

CMHA Alberta + CSP has over 50,000 social media followers and approximately 5,000 mailing list subscribers.
Annually, we deliver over 500 workshops and log over 85,000 learning hours.
Each year, our website attracts more than 230,000 unique visits.
