Vision and Mission


Vision

To see a responsive network of faith-based mental health support.

Our Mission

To achieve our vision, we seek, as a Christian Mental Health Association of Ontario, to stimulate,
develop, demonstrate, promote and share best practices in meeting mental health needs from a faith
base.

Our Strategy

As resources permit, we accomplish our mission by:

  • undertaking best practice projects which model the development of an active, integrated relationship between faith communities and the professional mental health sector.
  • providing support and education to faith communities who seek to respond effectively to mental health needs.
  • networking with, linking to and providing in-service training opportunities for professional Christian counsellors and mental health workers across Ontario.
  • offering professional counseling services where these serve our vision and mission.
  • ensuring that an ethic and practice of partnership and mutual enrichment permeates the accomplishment of our mission.
