You may or may not already be familiar with some of the Peer Support Services at CMHA. We offer groups facilitated virtually from a place of lived experience and inclusivity. If you are interested in attending any of the following groups, please send a direct email to
peersupport@cmhastarttalking.ca to request the Zoom link.
With the belief that human connection can serve as one of the most powerful tools in recovery and healing, this support service embodies a mutual
understanding of expectations, self-empowerment, self-awareness and accountability. Grounded in self-determination, hope for the future, and a holistic
approach to wellness, Peer Support is free from judgement, as together we will navigate your individual journey of healing. Peer support is not about
focusing on the illness or disability but instead works with your ability to make conscious choices about how you choose to better your whole health and
mental wellness.
Peer Support Services at CMHA can also be offered individually outside of a group setting. If you or someone you know is struggling with mental health
recovery and or addiction challenges, please connect with us directly at peersupport@cmhastarttalking.ca or call 705-790-5792 for more information.
Wednesday 5-6 pm
Men’s Mental Health & Addiction Support Group
Facilitators: Ryan and Dwayne
For those who identify as male, we understand that it can feel challenging to reach out for help. As part of our efforts to expand peer support services in our
community, this group is for any male who could use a little extra help and is looking for a safe place to talk about mental health. If you are struggling, we
invite you to join Peer Support Specialist Ryan and Peer Supporter Dwayne as they create space for this conversation from a place of lived experience.
