OUR IMPACT
About the Canadian Mental Health Association
The Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) delivers community programs, services, and resources to help people living with mental illness, as well as preventing mental ill-health and promoting positive mental health and resilience.
CMHA identifies and responds to Canada’s most pressing mental health priorities on both a national and grassroots level. At a national level, they push for nationwide systemic and social change. At a community level, millions of people in Canada rely on CMHA’s extensive grassroots presence for mental health programs and services.
About The Push-Up Challenge
The Push-Up Challenge started in 2017 in Perth, Australia, with four friends, some push-ups and a desire to get fit. That small idea has grown into a global movement, inspiring people to get fit, connect, and support mental health.
Globally The Push-Up Challenge has now raised over $60 million for mental health and helped more than 1 million participants improve their physical and mental fitness. Now it’s your turn to unite in the push for better and raise much-needed funds for mental health.
We've come a long way - from four friends to a community of over 1 million. Together, we’re making a difference.
