Call for a Volunteer Board Member 
Canadian Mental Health Association – Ottawa Branch 
 
The Canadian Mental Health Association, Ottawa Branch (CMHA Ottawa) is a community-based 
non-profit organization committed to improving the lives of individuals living with severe and 
persistent mental illness and/or substance use disorders. Many of the people we serve are also 
experiencing chronic homelessness or are vulnerably housed. Through a range of evidence-
based, recovery-oriented services, we help individuals stabilize, find housing, access healthcare, 
and build the skills and supports they need to thrive. 
 
CMHA Ottawa is a leader in promoting mental health equity, developing sustainable support 
systems, and advocating for stronger community mental health services and policies. Our work 
is grounded in compassion, respect, and a belief in the potential of every person.

ABOUT BIG BROTHERS BIG SISTERS, SERVING GRAND ERIE, HALTON AND HAMILTON 
For over 100 years, BBBS has been championing the health and wellbeing of youth. We step in before 
it’s too late, to help prevent the physical and mental effects of adverse childhood experiences. We 
ensure children as young as 6 are supported by caring adults as they overcome these adversities, 
helping them to do better in life – physically, mentally, socially, emotionally, and academically. 
 
With a history as a community leader and champion for young people, BBBS operates with the belief 
that all young people deserve to realize their full potential. 
 
Many children and youth in our community struggle with societal barriers and face adversities in their 
lives like detrimental living conditions, family violence, risk factors for mental health, school issues and 
identity challenges. These barriers, or Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), cause the presence of 
toxic stress in a young person’s life, which if not reduced or eliminated, can lead to long term harmful 
physical, mental, and social outcomes. 
 
Research informs us though, that the presence of one caring and committed adult relationship in the life 
of a young person with ACEs, is the best predictor of the reduction of toxic stress and therefore allows 
for the growth of self-esteem, resiliency, healthy relationships, and future potential.
