My story and purpose
I'm doing it again! 2,000 repetitions of weight bearing
exercises (push-ups, tricep dips, squats, etc.) to raise money for mental
health.
In September 2025 I was diagnosed with another depressive
episode. It's November now and I'm still working with medical professionals to
find the right medication balance. The thing is, this is a privilege. My
workplace benefits cover the medications I need and the psychology support that
I get. But mental health care isn't part of Canada's Health Act. Mental health
care in Canada is a pay-out-of-pocket and many people just can't afford it. That's
why I'm doing this no one should have to struggle to get the support they need
when they need it
CMHA National is trying to change that by advocating that
the government add mental health care to the Canada Healthcare Act so that
everyone has access to the care they need, when they need it. And local CMH
branches provide these services in communities across Canada free of charge. That
means the mental health of millions of people in Canada is dependent on the
goodwill of those that can give. People like you.

Through a presence in more than 330 communities across every province and one territory, CMHA provides advocacy, programs and resources that help to prevent mental health problems and illnesses, support recovery and resilience, and enable all Canadians to flourish and thrive.
