Our Unique Perspective

For over 55 years, the Canadian Mental Health Association – Peel Dufferin Branch (CMHA Peel Dufferin) has been a pioneer in providing services for people with mental illness and educating Canadians about mental health issues. As the leading client-driven, community-based mental health organization serving the Region of Peel and Dufferin County, we are innovative partners in proactively strengthening individual support, and developing a responsive mental health system.

CMHA Peel Dufferin champions good mental health for everyone and supports the full participation of those with mental illness and addictions in the life of the community. In addition to providing a variety of mental health and addictions services, we are committed to community development, mental health awareness and addressing the stigma and discrimination surrounding mental illness.
