At the community level, CMHA Branches/Regions provide multi-faceted services directly to consumers, their families and other stakeholders. Each Branch/Region structures its programs to meet the needs of its community. For example, links with ethno-cultural groups have been invaluable in providing service to diverse populations. And links with the private sector have been invaluable in helping to improve employment prospects for consumers. Provincially and territorially, CMHA Divisions provide public education materials, develop policy, conduct research, studies and demonstration projects and advocate at the provincial level. CMHA National works to assist the members of the Association, through the 135 CMHA Divisions, Regions and Branches in promoting the mental health of all people. CMHA National reaches out to the federal government at political and bureaucratic levels to drive policy and advocate on issues relating to mental health. We also develop national educational materials for the organization as a whole, work in partnership with other national organizations on common issues of concern, provide leadership on national/pan-Canadian issues and conduct research and programs to support policy development.
Charity History:
Hincks solicited friends and professionals to join the committee, with an emphasis on those in the medical profession. He already had the backing of C.K. Clarke, Dean of Medicine and Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Toronto; his persuasive address to the medical faculty of McGill won him its unanimous approval.
Hincks then established a Board of Directors. He asked 20 business and professional leaders to sit on the Board; 18 accepted. Among them were Lord Shaughnessy, President of the CPR; Richard B. Angus, Montreal financier and philanthropist; Dr. C.F. Martin, Professor of Medicine, McGill University; Sir Vincent Meredith, President, Bank of Montreal; and F.W. Molson, President of Molson's Brewery. Each agreed to pledge $1,000 a year for three years towards the expenses of the new organization.
Further Information:
