Host a Mental Health Event

Host a fun event to raise awareness of and support for the fight against mental illnesses. Rally friends or co-workers together for activities you enjoy. Have a great time while giving back to the community.

• Host a mental health or pamper party
  Benefit yourself, your friends, and your family. It may be at a spa, a retreat location, or even in your own home. You set the tone, and ban all outside distractions.
• Host a corporate challenge event
  Events such as running, cycling, rowing, or trekking can promote your organization, and you can gather pledges to support a workplace mental health initiative.
• Host an art event
  Emerging artists could showcase their talents with projects that visually represent mental wellness or mental illness. Have an art sale and donate the proceeds to a local community mental health initiative.
• Host a community bake sale
  Donate funds raised from baking to help people with eating disorders or addictions.
• Create an original event
  Use your imagination and creativity to come up with an event idea.

Contact your local office of the Canadian Mental Health Association to share your vision and discuss how we might help you with planning and implementing your idea.
