CMHA celebrates National Volunteer Week

CMHA Ottawa volunteers play a crucial role in our organization and our community. Without the dedication of volunteers, many programs offered by our branch would not be possible.

That’s why from April 7-13, CMHA Ottawa joins organizations across the country in celebrating Canada’s 12.7 million volunteers during National Volunteer Week.

Volunteering can take many forms. At CMHAs across the country, volunteers are found working on special projects or programs, within fundraising activities such as Ride Don’t Hide, or serving on local boards. All of these activities help improve quality of life for individuals and families who are affected by mental health issues.

At CMHA Ottawa volunteers help by participating in our Peer Engagement Advisory Council. CMHA clients also offer peer support to other clients.

From all of us at CMHA Ottawa, thank you to the amazing volunteers we work with every day. We truly appreciate your dedication in helping us work towards good mental health for all.
