CMHA and BCHL Want Players to #TalkToday

February 1, 2016 By Leave a Comment

CMHA Kelowna’s partnership with the West Kelowna Warriors continued last week with volunteers attending a game to cheer on the team and sell pucks to raise funds for mental health programs and services. The partnership is part of the BC-wide #TalkToday initiative encouraging athletes to be more aware of their mental health and seek help when they have concerns.

Previously, our community education facilitators have provided presentations to players and families (including billet families) on mental health, stigma reduction, and how to have those conversations with each other. We look forward to future educational opportunities with the West Kelowna Warriors.

Want to learn more? Check out Myles Matilla, Youth Ambassador for CMHA Kelowna, in this great #TalkToday video:

Participant Christmas Celebration a Huge Success!

December 3, 2015 By Leave a Comment

ChristmasCelebrationEach year, the Kelowna branch of the Canadian Mental Health Association, in partnership with the Mental Health Department of Interior Health Kelowna, hosts a Christmas Celebration for our program participants. For many, this is the only celebration they experience during this holiday season.

Thank you for making our Christmas Celebration a HUGE success! 210 program participants of CMHA Kelowna and the Mental Health Department of Interior Health were able to enjoy a nutritious meal, some holiday cheer, and received a small gift. Events such as these can provide opportunities for community connection and can reduce isolation – both of which are important on the road to recovery from mental health issues.

We originally anticipated 150 attendees but, thankfully, your generosity helped us exceed our goals for 2015 and no one was left out.

THANK YOU!
