ANNUAL REPORT 2016-2017

Building Communities TogetherCMHA Alberta Division has continued to focus its activities on the Mental Health of all Albertans. We are grateful for the operational expertise of CMHA’s affiliated Regions and continue to work toward demonstrating the collective impact of our shared work in this province. Opportunities and projects of provincial scope have come into focus because of active engagement with the Government of Alberta and other provincial partners. Engagement with the Ministry of Health, Alberta Health Services, the Ministry of Children’s Services and the Ministry of Seniors and Housing demonstrate strong connections between CMHA in Alberta and the Mental Health needs represented by Albertans of all ages and in all communities.

Post-Secondary Mental Health - Healthy Campus Alberta

Affiliation Agreement

This year CMHA Alberta Division completed a renewal of the affiliation agreements between Alberta Division and the nine

Alberta Regions. The renewed affiliation agreements point to the health of our organization and create new opportunities for collaboration between the Alberta Division and the nine

CMHA Regions in Alberta

Rural Mental Health

Alberta Division has committed its time and resources to looking closely at challenges related to access, continuity, effectiveness and efficiency within the Mental Health system(s) that support positive change and well-being for Albertans. This is true, in particular, for thousands of Albertans who live in rural and

remote communities, for whom access to services and supports is often out of reach.
