The Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) – Calgary Region has been in the forefront of mental

health in the Calgary area since 1955. It is part of a leading national organization that is one of Canada’s oldest voluntary agencies. CMHA is dedicated to reducing the impact of mental disorders and in promoting mental health and wellness through community-based services. This past year has been one of greater economic uncertainty in the non-profi t sector and CMHA – Calgary Region felt it as well. In the face of that uncertainty, we are proud to say the agency has had a tremendous year and remains stable, strong and committed to our mission, vision, mandate and values. CMHA – Calgary Region’s programs and services continue to provide caring support for thousands of individuals and families in our community; educate and build awareness about the importance of mental health and wellness with students in the junior and senior high schools and

with employees in the workplace; and advocate for those who are struggling with accessing appropriate supports and resources in the community. Our key public awareness activities — Mental Health Week in May and Mental Illness Awareness Week in October — are successful in encouraging all people to learn more about their own mental health and wellness and the importance of balance in life.CMHA – Calgary Region is about collaboration and partnerships. Our strong, dedicated, wise and capable networks of people, relationships and partnerships established and nurtured over time are a gift to the agency. It is with deep gratitude we thank our Board of Directors, employees and service volunteers who so generously and freely give of their time and talents. The generous philanthropy and support of our donors and partners is also greatly appreciated. In particular we thank Alberta Health Services, Addiction & Mental Health Services, the City

of Calgary Family & Community Support Services, Correctional Service of Canada and the United Way of Calgary and Area for their ongoing support of our work.Together we are all reducing the impact of mental disorders and promoting mental health and wellness; and our vision of mentally healthy people in a healthy society is becoming closer to a reality.

Resource DevelopmentTHROUGHOUT THE YEAR, CMHA - Calgary Region relies on a number of loyal community groups, individuals and corporate sponsors who collaborate with us to provide the necessary funding for our programs and services that reach over 21,000 Calgarians each year. Just a few of our fundraising events and contributions are listed here.

Employees and Employers Team Up to Make a DifferenceThroughout the year we receive donations from many individuals whose employers generously match their donations thus doubling the benefi t of the gift, enabling CMHA – Calgary Region to reach out to even more individuals in the community. Matching programs from ATCO, Cenovus, Encana, Home Depot, Imperial, Nexen, PennWest, TAQA North, TransCanada and many others helped expand our reach this year. In addition, employers recognize their employees through grants because of their volunteer hours in the community (Encana, Imperial, Shell).

Teachers host games night and raise funds for CMHAThe Calgary Public Teachers of the Alberta Teachers’ Association Local 38 held a Games Night for its members which included a silent auction. They raised an amazing $10,588.56, which will provide continued support to individuals with mental health concerns.

6th Annual Fish & Chips Golf Tournament & Fly-Fishing Derby

Presented by Hamilton + Partners in support of CMHA - Calgary Region and Horizon Housing Society, this event combines fi shing and golfi ng in a world-renowned location. This year brought over 200 participants together in support of mental health programs & affordable housing — two signifi cant causes that produced amazing results. Over $121,000 was raised to build hope for those in need through the generous contributions of anglers, golfers, sponsors and volunteers. To date this event has raised over $673,500 shared by both charities.

6th Annual Mat’s Ride: The Journey to End Youth Depression

THE SUPPORTIVE LIVING PROGRAM provides support to those who have experienced diffi culty living independently because of a mental disorder through services offered in group living and apartment settings. Supportive Living coordinators work with clients to increase their level of independence through individualized support and goal setting. Areas of assistance may include development of daily living skills, accessing community resources, emotional support and more.

This year, Supportive Living coordinators devoted 10,634 hours assisting 188 clients to achieve a more independent lifestyle through a comprehensive range of support services, including goals focusing on skill development, 265 referrals to other community resources and 240 house meetings, community meetings and groups. As a result, the program has seen many long term clients transition successfully to greater levels of independence within the Supportive Living continuum or in the community in the past year.

Post Discharge TransitionTHE POST DISCHARGE TRANSITION PROGRAM provides an intensive level of Supportive Living for clients with a severe and persistent mental disorder who are transitioning from the hospital into the community and are unable to access other supports. In a group living environment, clients have access to 24-hour staffi ng to assist with the development of daily routines and living skills, to offer emotional support, and facilitate access to fi nancial resources, long term housing and community supports. Clients participate in a variety of groups and activities designed to increase their social

interaction, healthy activity and independent living skills.A total of 28 clients were admitted last year from the 31 referred to the program. With over 2,560 hours of staff support and through 232 referrals to community agencies, 80% of clients achieved increased scores on the Goal Attainment Scale, indicating an increase in their wellness and independent living skills. Nineteen of these clients successfully transitioned from the program to suitable housing and are accessing other long term supports in the community, an increase of seven clients over last year.

Supportive Living“I feel secure and safe living in this building. I can trust the people who live here and know that I will always have help from my worker and the building managers. I really don’t think I would be as successful if I were living elsewhere without the support of the building and my worker.”

Workplace Wellness

Community EducationSUICIDE AWARENESS, STRESS AND MENTAL HEALTH are topics covered by the Community Education program. Presentations are offered to junior and senior high school students, as well as post-secondary and adult audiences. These presentations aim to break through the stigma associated with mental disorders, provide tools to help people to recognize and prevent mental health diffi culties and learn how to support individuals who are suicidal or dealing with mental health issues. Educators presented 617 times in the past year, reaching a total of 19,403 individuals. This is an increase of 4,023 individuals from the previous year. Of those surveyed following the Suicide Awareness presentation 99% reported an increase in knowledge, and 100 % of these individuals reported they learned more about where to go to get more

help. Following the Mental Illness & Stigma presentations 99% of those surveyed felt they were better informed on the topic of mental disorders. 88% of the individuals who attended the stress presentation gained new ideas about managing their own stress, with 93% indicating they now have resources available to help mitigate their stress.

THE COPERNICUS PROJECT™ - RISK MANAGEMENT FOR WORKPLACE MENTAL HEALTH enables organizations to better understand and communicate the impact that both mental health and mental disorders have within the workplace. Either through a succession of workshops entitled Copernican Shifts or via a one hour session entitled What’s Up with Biff, employers and

employees are given the tools and strategies needed to address mental health in the workplace.Both train the trainer modules have been made available for purchase by organizations which have recognized the importance of dialogue regarding mental health, mental disorders and stigma within their workplace.

“The Canadian Mental Health Association has made a tremendous impact in the education of our students. Our students are faced with so much contradicting information about mental health that having CMHA come in and provide the appropriate materials to our students is essential. The range of topics that are covered is diverse and each student has the capacity to walk away with valuable life changing information.”

Street Outreach & Stabilization UP TO 70% OF HOMELESS INDIVIDUALS have a mental disorder which often leads to a deteriorated quality of life. The Street Outreach and Stabilization (SOS) program helps address the needs of this hard to reach population by offering them the support and resources needed to help turn their lives around.Linkage to psychiatric and medical treatments, income support, housing referrals and daily living skills enables homeless individuals to get back on their feet so they

can live in safety and comfort. This year, SOS and Aboriginal SOS team members devoted 3,664 hours to connecting with homeless individuals suffering from mental disorders and provided 882 hours of intensive support to registered clients. Upon being discharged from the SOS program, 75% of clients who received support increased in their Goal Attainment Scores, meaning that they gained independent living skills while participating in the program.

“I had hit rock bottom and the SOS program helped get my life back on track.”

Independent Living Support

AdvocacyNAVIGATING THROUGH THE MENTAL HEALTH SYSTEM CAN BE A DAUNTING EXPERIENCE and clients with mental disorders can sometimes feel lost and unaware of their options. The Advocacy program is available to assist individuals in overcoming challenges and identifying opportunities while ensuring the protection of human rights. The program assists with such issues as health care, fi nances, completing paperwork, fi ling complaints, residential tenancy issues and more. The Advocate also maintains close working relationships with community organizations to move systemic issues

forward for improved service delivery.1,519 individuals with mental health concerns received 1,451 direct and indirect hours of support from the CMHA Advocate. They received support to deal with their issues, information on available community resources, and assistance with developing actions or steps to address their issues and improve their situation, promoting their skills for advocating for themselves. The majority of the callers (69%) were requiring assistance with mental health issues and access to mental health services. Social support development and the resolution of fi nancial and housing issues

also constituted a large amount of the callers’ needs (37%). Ninety-fi ve per cent of callers reported that the phone call with the CMHA Advocate has been helpful and 96% of the callers reported that they know a lot more about resources available in the community as a result of the call to the CMHA Advocate. Six self-advocacy workshops were offered to 629 individuals. Self-advocacy workshops are interactive workshops that introduce participants to skills that they need to effectively advocate for themselves.

THE INDEPENDENT LIVING SUPPORT (ILS) PROGRAM delivers supportive, skill building services to individuals who have been diagnosed with a mental disorder that affects their ability to live independently. Through workshops such as Skills for Life, Pro-Active You and Money Matters, ILS coordinators assist clients in developing skills to enhance daily living, social and occupational needs and provide guidance as they set and meet goals which help them move toward a more independent life.

A total of 6,631 hours were devoted to the 333 clients in the ILS program, and of those surveyed, 96% of clients felt supported in working on their goals. As a result of their participation in the program, 96% of clients felt that their ability to function independently in the community had increased and 96% were more confi dent in their ability to perform daily living skills on their own.

“My ILS worker gave me di� erent avenues to look for help. She was very supportive with my goals and tried her best to get me into low-cost housing. Money Matters was a great course to take.“

Peer Options THE PEER OPTIONS PROGRAM provides a safe place to share with other adults who have a lived experience with a mental disorder and are now wellness and recovery focused. Together participants learn the value and skills of building healthy friendships, as well as strive to develop peer support networks, and transition to the community. Many graduates of the program give back to the mental health community through peer support by offering inspiration, understanding

and mentorship as a volunteer. This past year the program welcomed 135 new participants. Our program volunteers provided over 2,600 hours of group facilitation, mentoring and hands-on peer support. 96% of the participants reported that they have seen improvements in their wellness due to the peer support received within the weekly Circle of Friends group.

In addition to increasing socialization and improving the physical and mental health of clients, the objective of these activities is to create a supportive group environment that will help clients transition to leisure/recreation activities available in the community. Skill development is structured through activity levels enabling participants to feel confi dent and capable. A variety of activities are planned throughout the year in and out of Calgary. Activities and transportation to community locations are provided at a reasonable cost to

clients. Many activities are free of charge.This year, 283 individuals participated in 150 group activity sessions.
