Kenora Supportive Housing is a building with a rich history that serves an important purpose within Kenora and its surrounding area. Last spring, the 132-year-old house was greatly in need of roof repairs, and at risk of seeing its residents displaced if funding for a roof replacement could not be secured.

Do you want to be part of creating a new learning experience for those in our district struggling with their mental health and well-being?

CMHA Kenora is happy to announce the launch of our new Recovery College, a unique learning center where people with lived experience of mental health issues, peers, family members and mental health professionals will use their knowledge and experience to work collaboratively and on equal terms to co-develop and co-deliver courses on a range of topics that support well-being and recovery.

CMHA Kenora Branch joins individuals and organizations worldwide to celebrate the history, courage and diversity of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer or questioning, and Two-Spirit (LGBTQ2S+) individuals for Pride Month in June.

CMHA Kenora is offering another round of the Skills for Safer Living group, with sessions beginning July 7^th.

CAPSA (The Community Addictions Peer Support Association) and CPHA have collaborated on the development of a short survey to understand the experiences of people who use substances (such as alcohol, cannabis, stimulants, opioids, etc.) when interacting with professionals while seeking care and in their daily lives. The results will be used to inform the development of capacity-building tools and resources related to a public health approach to substance use. Participation in the survey is voluntary.

In the Know is a mental health literacy program created specifically for the agricultural community. The workshops are facilitated by one of CMHA’s mental health professionals using real-life examples from the agriculture community. Participants will cover topics of stress, depression, anxiety, substance use disorders and how to start a conversation around mental well-being.
