(Wednesday, Sept. 14, 2022, Stratford, ON) – Since announcing their intention to integrate a few months ago, Choices For Change and Resilience Huron Perth Mental Health Services are beginning to clearly identify benefits of becoming a single agency. Now, the combined organization is taking the next step to rebrand itself as a branch of the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA).
In June, Choices For Change and Resilience Huron Perth announced their intent to become one organization. The integration brings together Huron and Perth’s addictions agency (Choices For Change) and mental health agency (Resilience Huron Perth).
As that integration unfolds it’s evident that the combination of these two agencies and their dedicated and committed staff will lead to enhanced care in Huron and Perth Counties. For example:
“CMHA has a 70-year history in Ontario and is a key player in the community mental health and addictions sector,” said Claudia den Boer, the supervisor appointed by Ontario Health to lead Resilience Huron Perth during this transition period. “CMHAs across the province provide a supportive network where guidance and the sharing of information and best practices is always readily available.”
“CMHA Ontario is also a powerful government relations advocacy organization that promotes positive system change for the community sector,” Hardman added. “The impact of their advocacy, which relies heavily on the successes of the branch network, can only serve well our organization, clients and the communities we support.”
