We recognize the challenges faced by those living with schizophrenia—a severe mental disorder that affects 1% of the population. It's important to remember that schizophrenia is an illness, not an identity. CMHA stands with the @SchizophreniaCa in promoting acceptance, support, hope, and recovery for those affected by early psychosis or schizophrenia. Let’s end the stigma and foster a better understanding of these conditions. 💚 #SchizophreniaAwareness #PsychosisAwareness #MentalHealthMatters
While #MentalHealthWeek may *technically* be over, we can all continue to prioritize compassion every day. Discover why compassion is fundamental to our mental health and well-being in our latest blog post: https://t.co/aNzvzKGBsX #CompassionConnects
Compassion is a skill we can all learn and practice. When we do so, we establish trust, strengthen relationships, and cultivate a sense of community. One way to foster community across Canada is by advocating for free and accessible mental health care for all. Find out more at https://t.co/mitapjnpUy #CompassionConnects #MentalHealthWeek

On Tuesday, SIGA and @LivingSkyCasino announced two donations to community organizations in Swift Current. $5,000 was presented to the @SC_CMHA and $5,000 to Southwest Crisis Services.
“This donation is important to us because it grants those impacted by intimate partner violence the opportunity to experience some relief, while working to feed themselves and their families,” said Southwest Crisis Services Executive Director Becky Walker.
“Increasing food costs have added pressure to many families and individuals everywhere, and our members are no different. The need for our meal program continues to grow,” said CMHA Swift Current Meal Program Coordinator Helen Hyde.
“Living Sky Casino and SIGA wanted to step up and help these two important organizations in our community, that help our most vulnerable,” said Living Sky Casino Acting General Manager Ashley Peterson.
The donations are part of SIGA’s Community Investments Food Security Strategy, which will see $225,000 in total donated to several food banks and food nutrition programs across the province.
