Mental Health is Public Health! We will always advocate for an easier, more robust and comprehensive response to mental health resources.

Safe drug supply is something we are passionate about at CMHA Mid-Island. We are so happy to host an anonymous testing service every Friday at 4:30. Spread the word, this service is available for recreational and habitual drug users alike. COVID-19 has brought many a challenge in our lives, and one area that is particularly affected is drug supply. Borders are closed for an indefinite amount of time and cutting agents are getting wilder- so be safe! Come see us to test your supply so you can have a safe experience :) No personal information is necessary to access.

Who doesn't love the comfort that some chopsticks and noodles gives?! We are so lucky for the commitment Noodlebox Canada has to creating healthy communities. On September 16th local Noodlebox locations will donate 30% of all their profits to the CMHA in their hometown. How wonderful is that! Delicious, nutritious comfort food and helping us carry out our programming all at once. What's your favourite dish to get at Noodlebox? Hint: THERE'S NO WRONG ANSWER :)

There have been 165 overdose deaths this year in the Island Health Region, and we are deeply saddened to fully acknowledge such a significant loss to our communities.
