The Cessford Rural Mental Health project hopes to address mental health stigma in their community to promote positive mental health, provide updated resources with accurate service provider information, and find ways for community members to connect and socialize.

Impact/Outcome

Community Member Involvement: We have members that want to be involved and start programming in our community for the betterment of the community. With the help of the project we have been able to ensure that these individuals have the supplies, materials, space and promotion they need to make their programs succeed.

Community Unity: Coming together to exercise, learn, talk, explore in a safe environment. We have been able to involve more men in our programming this year.

Community Connection: We have been able to reinstate a sense of community connection. Being able to offer a variety of opportunities/events to bring the community back together has increased our community wellbeing.
