Mental Health Promotion and Education

My Path

Visit My Path where we focus on helping people develop skills and knowledge to support their own mental health or their loved one’s recovery. My Path is for anyone: youth, older adults, family, friends, and parents. You are not required to have a referral, diagnosis, previous experience or be a CMHA WW client to participate. All are welcome!   These resources are created to empower you on your journey toward mental well-being! Our offerings are crafted by those with lived experiences or by a trained mental health professional, blending personal wisdom with practical knowledge to help you build inner strength and promote self-care.

Specialized Programs

The Mood Walks Program is designed to encourage and support the mental and physical health of participants by exposing them to the healing effects of nature, being physically active and engaging with the community. Mood Walks is led by CMHA Ontario, in collaboration with Hike Ontario and Conservation Ontario. Check out the My Path Calendar for more information on dates, times and location.

Living Life to the Full is a 12-hour, eight-week course offered in a group format. The course sessions are 1.5 hours each and are held once a week. Trained facilitators use small group activities to identify and work on improving feelings, moods, and behaviours.  The course includes activities designed to engage participants at their comfort level, and inspire them to shift how they respond to stresses in their lives. Sessions include Living Life to the Full booklets and worksheets, as well as moderated discussions in which participants may share information, ideas, and provide mutual support.

Community and Wellness Fairs

Our team is also available to support the community by attending wellness and information fairs to share information with attendees about the services provided by CMHA Waterloo Wellington.  Request our attendance by completing the booking request form.

CMHA Waterloo Wellington knows that workplace wellbeing contributes to the overall wellbeing of the community in several interconnected ways. When organizations invest in the mental, emotional, and physical health of their employees, the positive effects often extend beyond the workplace and into the broader community.

Our workplace services are custom designed sessions for professionals in their workplace. A variety of learning opportunities are available including targeted training for all employees, for segmented groups of employees, and leadership teams.

Whether you’re a service provider, teacher, youth worker, emergency responder, supervisor, co-worker, or community member, these courses provide essential tools to support those in need. Each course is tailored with specific age and attendance requirements, ensuring that participants can gain the skills necessary to help their communities, workplaces, and loved ones.

These programs not only enhance participants’ ability to identify and assist individuals at risk, but also build a broader understanding of mental health, well-being, and suicide prevention strategies.
