About Our Challenge
***THIS IS THE TEAM PAGE FOR CMHA OTTAWA BRANCH STAFF, THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS, AND PEER ENGAGEMENT ADVISORY COUNCIL***
In February, our team is taking part in The Push-Up Challenge. We are challenging ourselves to complete a whole lot of push-ups between February 1-23, 2024 to raise awareness of mental illness in Canada.
You can help us push for better mental health in Canada by joining us or donating to our team.
All proceeds go to the Ottawa branch of the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA Ottawa -- our workplace) 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.
