The CMHA is guided by lived experiences. For over 20 years, their National Council of Persons with Lived Experience (NCPLE) has been instrumental in providing policy and program development leadership, expertise and perspective of those living with experience of mental illness to all issues and concerns on CMHA’s national agenda.
12 Days of Giving - Day 3
Our third day of giving is dedicated to The Canadian Mental Health Association, chosen by our Real Estate Clerk, Crystal Liberty. This charity resonates with Crystal as being someone with a history of mental health struggles. “There is still a lot of stigma plaguing mental health. It took me a while to get to where I am today and I want others to know that they are not alone and they can achieve whatever they want. They do have support, no door is closed, no back is turned. All you need to do is ask for help. Yes, that may be hard at first, but worth it in the long run.”
