Description

Founded in 1952, the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA), Ontario, is a non-profit, charitable organization committed to improving services and support for individuals living with mental illnesses and addictions issues, and to the promotion of mental health in Ontario.

CMHA Ontario achieves its mission by being a leader in the evolution of Ontario's mental health and addictions system. We contribute our knowledge, resources and skills to provincial policy development and implementation. We promote mental health in collaboration with others. We further equitable access to mental health services and champion the reduction of mental health disparities.

CMHA Ontario is a dedicated partner within the network of Canadian Mental Health Associations at the national, provincial, and local level.

CMHA Ontario works closely with its 27 local branches in communities across the province to ensure the utilization of best practices in the organization, management and delivery of services to consumers and families of individuals with mental illness, dual diagnosis and concurrent disorders.

All local branches in Ontario work in a variety of partnerships to provide a coordinated, continuum of care using the social determinants of health model.

The Board of Directors of CMHA Ontario is responsible for establishing the provincial organization's strategic direction and goals, in setting the policies and practices that govern its actions and for overseeing the use of the organizations' resources used to achieve its goals.

The CMHA Ontario Board of Directors has adopted as its governance approach a "results-based model".

Under this model, while the Board is not involved in the operations of the organization, it is accountable for ensuring that the organization adheres to its strategic direction and works to achieve the strategic goals approved by the Board.

The Board adopts and monitors the policies and procedures used by the organization to fulfill its objectives and measures outcomes to ensure that goals are achieved and risks minimized.

This is a challenging and rewarding volunteer opportunity.

Board members will have the opportunity to support a very worthy cause and to help the organization achieve its goals.

The Board meets in person in Toronto four times a year and an additional two to three times via teleconference.

Board members are also expected to participate in some committee work via teleconference.
