Join us for the 71st annual CMHA Mental Health Week May 2-8, 2022. 

The theme of this year's Mental Health Week campaign is Empathy.

We may be different but we’re not on different sides. See the world as others do. This is empathy.

When someone is struggling, you don’t have to fix their pain. Tune in and see through their eyes. This is empathy.

You can understand even if you don’t agree. Understand someone’s feelings. This is empathy.

This Mental Health Week, #GetReal about how to help. Before you weigh in, tune in. 

This year, thanks to the lifting of COVID restrictions around gathering, the CMHA Cowichan Valley Branch looks forward to hosting three Open House Events. We hope you will take the time to tour our sites, meet our caring staff and understand how you can support our important work in the Cowichan Valley.
