About My Challenge: Pushing Up for CMHA Ottawa's Recovery College

I'm completing 2,000 push-ups in 23 days to raise awareness and funds for the Ottawa branch of the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA Ottawa), where I work as the Manager of Communications. Please support me as I #pushforbetter in February.

Now, I'm out of practice and 2,000 is a lot of push-ups. Modified targets are allowed in this challenge, so instead I'm doing 20 push-ups a day and completing the balance each day with knee push-ups.

All proceeds help the CMHA Ottawa to support mental illness recovery and foster positive mental health outcomes in Canada. Specifically, donations will go towards CMHA Ottawa's Recovery College.

Recovery Colleges are a new way to present mental health and wellness information, honouring both lived and learned expertise. Based on the idea that those who use services are in the best position to help design them, courses and the college itself are collaborative work between service users and those who provide services. Recovery Colleges are more than a learning centre, they help develop community for students, and in partnering with other services, connect organizations.

At CMHA Ottawa, we launched our own Recovery College program in January 2021 after successfully applying for funding from CMHA National, who have lead development opportunities across Canada for local CMHA branches to create their own, unique colleges.

CMHA Ottawa does not get ongoing funding for Recovery College. We’re appealing to donors like you to help us continue to offer our clients these collaborative, empowering classes that help put them on a path to wellness – equipping students with the necessary tools we all need to thrive.
