Canadian Mental Health Association York Region Branch

The Canadian Mental Health Association York Region Branch promotes mental health and wellness through community support, education, and advocacy, aiming to empower individuals and enhance mental health services in York Region.

Mental Health in Motion - 5K Walk for Wellness&nbsp;brings our community together in support of mental wellness, connection, and hope. Through the generosity of our sponsors and participants, people facing mental health and addiction challenges can get care without barriers, stigma, or delay. Every dollar helps someone feel understood, supported, and empowered to take their next step on the path to recovery. Your partnership helps strengthen our community and make mental health care available when it&#39;s needed most. Every step together means no one has to face their mental health challenges alone.

Mental Health in Motion 2026

Join CMHA York Region &amp; South Simcoe for an unforgettable evening of inspiration, impact, and celebration in support of the York Region Mental Health Community Care Centre.
