The Canadian Mental Health Association of New Brunswick recognizes the essential role volunteers play in our organization and our community. Without the dedication of these volunteers, many programs offered throughout the province would not be possible. We truly appreciate the commitment and initiative of our volunteers who unselfishly contribute their time and energy to further our mission. 

Volunteering is about giving, contributing and helping other individuals and the community at large; it is working with others to make a meaningful contribution to a better community. People volunteer for different reasons. Many want to gain experience, acquire new skills, meet new people or expand their network of contacts. Others just want to give back to their community, to help someone or to promote a worthwhile activity. They volunteer because it makes them feel good. Volunteers of CMHANB say they volunteer because they recognize the importance of the programs and the overall contribution to their community.
