Canadian Mental Health Association, Manitoba and Winnipeg

My friend who has been diagnosed with PTSD with documentation has been trying for over 5 years to get help from this place. How do you make an appointment when whoever reads or listens to the messages never returns calls?

I'm a better person to myself because of the time I've spent talking to people in this building. They listen. They have solutions. They can help you recover and reach personal goals. If you're looking for help, call and ask to speak with one of their Intake Specialists.

Its a great place if your struggling. Also a good place to meet some new friends. They also have a lot of interesting workshops!!

its too bad they have such a long wait list. its been four months now, i first called in september 2018. in that time ive had one interview and a bunch of emails telling me to wait. what i really needed help for is finding employment and then help keeping it. they have a evening group that meets for that reason but the person who emailed me told me im not qualified and wasn't welcome. im wondering if there are any other services that include first nations as clients. im thinking that if there was such a thing i might find help. to be honest, after waiting 4 months i emailed them and told them to forget it. obviously its a big problem to fit me into the what is obviously a very very busy service.....and i called them again and it turns out its not being busy thats the problem....apparently they didnt have my phone number...even though i registered for some of their classes and recieved emails saying they called me with no answer.....turns out they never even had my number in the first place. so, the emails make no sense. how can they say they called me when they tell me months later they never had my phone number? what was that interview for? i feel like i was entertainment for the day and they just moved on after they were bored.

I am at the end of the intake process and so I cannot comment too much at this point. So far, things have been very good.

This place does not seem like a welcome environment. They have banned people from meetings and programs indiscriminately. They have hired new staff that seem to discriminate and are not friendly. These observations are absurd considering this is supposed to be a safe place for people with mental health issues. People are afraid to share their concerns. Just found out they falsely accused two innocent mental health recovery participants of having a misappropriate relationship supposedly groomed by an elder, omg. This rumour was created by a mental health faciliator if you can believe that, omg. Just to get back at him for challenging her in a mental health group!

Well I have to say Canadian mental health is necessary to live a normal happy life you almost make sure like a doctor's office to maintain our mentality as well as our physical being

I personally have been looking for advocacy due to my disability for years all I get is phone numbers to people of no help. the CHMA totally refuses to call me back I have left many messages with the head personal very unprofessional.

Long wait list to get access to the programming, but they do do a good job. Funded my first aid and cpr training for 93 bucks. Still with them a year later.

Great place to check out free workshops, classes, and programs in a trauma informed setting. Offers a variety of mental health resources and supports directed towards improving quality of life for those living with mental health conditions. Includes drop in and ongoing services, online and in-person services, group and one-on-one services.
