Canadian Mental Health Association,

Thames Valley Addiction and Mental Health Services

Chief Executive Officer (CEO)


Canadian Mental Health Association, Thames Valley Addiction and Mental Health Services (CMHA TVAMHS) is an integrated mental health and addiction agency providing community-based supports and services.

Situated in rural and urban centres, this dynamic organization serves individuals aged 12 and up across Elgin, Middlesex, Huron and Oxford counties.

CMHA TVAMHS is one of the largest branches in the national CMHA federation, with more than 700 employees and approximately 300 volunteers, serving communities across these counties with a total population of over 635,000.


CMHA TVAMHS was established in April 2021 when three organizations (Addiction Services of Thames Valley, CMHA Elgin-Middlesex and CMHA Oxford) united to better serve the mental health and addiction needs of the Thames Valley region.

CMHA TVAMHS came together with a vision of providing high quality community-based addiction and mental health programs that are accessible to all, regardless of where they live in Thames Valley, yet tailored to complement existing services and address needs and gaps within individual communities.


CMHA TVAMHS holds the vision of resilience for all through positive mental health and freedom from addiction and works to realize this vision by igniting hope and fostering change by providing a continuum of mental health and addiction education, supports and services.


Reporting directly to the Board of Directors, the CEO will lead and develop an organization that ignites hope and fosters change by providing a continuum of mental health and addiction education, supports and services.

The CEO is responsible for the oversight of the strategic plan and the overall management of operations, programs and services, fiscal management, resource development, human resources, administration and external relations.


The CEO will strengthen an integrated infrastructure and continue to champion and foster a culture within CMHA TVAMHS that is unified, welcoming, inclusive and client centred.

The CEO will ensure the Board is engaged and updated while also promoting an environment that supports staff wellness and where employees observe the highest standards of integrity and ethical behaviour.

Additionally, following the recent unionization, the CEO will build a culture that works in support of and collaboratively with the union, Ontario Public Services Employees Union (OPSEU/SEFPO).


The CEO will navigate the ever-complex nature of mental health and addictions care within the province and identify opportunities, now and in the future, to support the delivery of client-focused, integrated mental health and addiction services.

As the principal spokesperson for CMHA TVAMHS, the CEO will represent the organization with CMHA National, CMHA Ontario and at community activities to enhance the organization's effectiveness and profile.

Additionally, the CEO will improve the awareness of addictions and mental health needs and continue to build and promote partnerships that focus on an integrated and more effective mental health and addictions care system.
