Northern
CMHA branches across Manitoba offer a variety of services. Our services are informed by CMHA’s Framework for Support and the recovery model as a basis for working with people with mental health illnesses and challenges.
Services
The purpose of the Canadian Mental Health Association Residential Services Program is to provide housing support to clients in the Northern Health Region. The emphasis of all of our housing programs is providing support while focusing on the strengths of the individual – encouraging their use of personal, family, and community-based resources to maintain their optimal level of mental health; and to maintain or enhance their quality of life.
We support individuals to gain the skills needed to lead satisfying and successful lives in the community, help clients access and secure a stable income, and provide the skills and support needed to ensure long term success in the housing of their choice.
