Education

Education improves health literacy, builds confidence, and equips people with the tools they need to navigate life’s challenges. In 2024–25, CMHA Toronto provided education to 10,947 clients through workshops, skills training, and mental health learning opportunities that strengthen knowledge and resilience.

Neighbourhood & Built Environment

Safe, stable housing and supportive environments are critical foundations for good mental health. In 2024–25, CMHA Toronto provided housing support to 1,690 clients, helping people secure and maintain permanent housing, navigate landlord relationships, and build healthier living conditions.

Social Connections

Strong social connections reduce isolation and enhance overall well-being. In 2024–25, 11,901 clients participated in CMHA Toronto’s community-building programs, creating opportunities for peer support, belonging, and meaningful engagement.

Primary Care

Access to primary care helps people manage both physical and mental health needs, preventing crises and improving long-term outcomes. In 2024–25, 6,141 clients received primary care and one-to-one support through CMHA Toronto’s multidisciplinary teams.

Economic Stability

Stable employment and financial security play a significant role in mental health and overall quality of life. In 2024–25, 524 clients participated in CMHA Toronto’s employment program, receiving coaching, training, and support to pursue meaningful work and greater economic independence.

    We are proud to be an anchor partner in the Toronto Community Crisis Service, the city's fourth emergency service, which dispatches trained teams of crisis workers to respond to people experiencing a mental health crisis.

    It is a non-police response to mental health crisis calls and well-being checks.
