About CMHANB

The Canadian Mental Health Association of New Brunswick (CMHANB) is the provincial leader and champion for mental health. CMHANB helps people access the community resources they need to build resilience and support recovery from mental illness.

Our vision is a New Brunswick where mental health is a universal human right, and our mission is to ensure that all people in New Brunswick experience good mental health and well-being.

CMHANB is working hard to raise awareness on mental health and provide education on mental illness, which in turn helps remove the stigma so that people reach out for support without discrimination.

There is a positive shift in society, but there is still much work to do. We are committed to providing quality programs and services and are determined to promote our vision of mentally healthy people in a healthy society.

CMHANB offers a variety of specialized programs and services tailored to meet the unique needs of our communities. These include educational presentations, workshops, support groups, and advocacy initiatives designed for individuals of all ages—children, youth, adults, and seniors—who are living with mental illness or seeking mental wellness.

Our core values reflect our dedication to the community:

INCLUSIVE

We have long fought to improve the state of mental health in New Brunswick, but our work is not done. We are champions of social justice. We remain as committed as ever to our task.
