Deemed an essential service by the Ontario government amid public health concerns related to COVID-19, Canadian Mental Health Association, Windsor-Essex County Branch (CMHA-WECB) remains open and is ensuring community mental health and addictions supports are safely available by providing programs, services and information online and over the phone as the public health crisis continues.

In accordance with social distancing measures outlined by public health agencies, CMHA-WECB has altered service delivery to protect public health and safety, pivoting services and information sharing to virtual or other means so individuals in need of mental health and addictions supports can continue to get the help they need.

All events, external meetings and groups have been temporarily suspended. All staff and clients entering either our main branch at 1400 Windsor Ave., or the Crisis & Mental Wellness Centre at 744 Ouellette Ave., must enter through the main/front entrance and will be required to take part in a mandatory screening process.

A reminder to practice social distancing, wash your hands thoroughly and often, and if you are experiencing a cough or fever, it is best to stay home.

As this public health situation develops, CMHA-WECB will continue to inform clients and the community of further changes to programs and services as they occur. 

We encourage you to visit our COVID-19 webpage for regular updates on local, provincial and federal information and supports, as well as vetted mental health resources.
