Welcome to the Rural Mental Health Project!

CMHA’s Rural Mental Health Project strives to strengthen community capacity for better mental health in rural and remote communities across Alberta through ongoing training and network development.

The Rural Mental Health Project is built collaboratively with strategic and local partners. The principles that guide our work include being community-driven, building on existing strengths, and using wholistic approaches, while considering the full lifespan of our communities.
