Support Us
As a result of COVID-19 we worked quickly to move our Peer Support, Recovery College courses, as well as our Family Support and Suicide Bereavement counselling to virtual delivery. Over the past few months, CMHA Calgary staff have been exploring the delivery of online courses as an additional channel of support to the community. The reality of COVID-19 has increased not only the timeline of online delivery, but also our need for different types of technology. Please help us support all Calgarians throughout this pandemic.
CMHA Calgary is inviting you to participate in our 2020 summer wellness campaign and virtual Energize Don’t Hide event between June 21, 2020 – September 21, 2020. Consistent activity is important for your physical and mental health. Our event is encouraging Canadians to set a fitness goal and challenge others to match your energy! Begin by registering for $20 to join Energize Don’t Hide and set your fundraising goal to support continued CMHA Calgary programs and services. Then reach your goal by completing 20 minutes of exercise daily to activate your mental and physical health. Don’t forget to challenge and energize your friends, family members and colleagues to match your 2020 Energize Don’t Hide goal.
