About CMHA Kamloops

Our Vision: Mentally Healthy People in a Healthy Society

Founded in 1918, the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) is a national charity that helps maintain and improve mental health for all Canadians. As the nation-wide leader and champion for mental health, CMHA promotes the mental health of all and supports the resilience and recovery of people experiencing mental illness.

CMHA Kamloops Branch started in 1982 under the name Kamloops Cariboo Society. In November of 1992 CMHA Kamloops Branch was officially incorporated. In BC, mental health, substance use and addictive behavior are within the scope of the organization. We offer services such as training, housing, support workers, resources, and teaching life skills among other supports to improve the mental health of our community.

Through our family of over 100 local, provincial and national locations across Canada, CMHA provides a wide range of innovative services and supports tailored to and in partnership with our communities. Mental health begins where you live, learn, work and play. Together, we are making a difference.
