The Canada Post Foundation for Mental Health Provides Great
Support for CMHA PEI's 'With Hope In Mind Program'
One small step for the Canada Post Foundation for Mental Health ¨C one giant cheque for the Canadian Mental Health Association ¨C PEI Division
Charlottetown (October 14, 2009) ¨C The Canadian Mental Health Association ¨C PEI Division (CMHA - PEI) is pleased to announce that it has been chosen from among 200 applicants to receive a grant from the Canada Post Foundation for Mental Health. The grant will be used to offer a Family-to-Family program ¡°With Hope in Mind¡± to educate and support family members who are dealing with mental illness.
¡°We are thrilled to be a recipient of this grant, not only because we have the honour of receiving one of the first cheques of this new Foundation, but also because funding for services to individuals is so needed and very difficult to resource,¡± said John Horrelt, president of CMHA ¨C PEI. ¡°By participating in the With Hope in Mind Program, families will learn that they do not have to cope alone. They will have a greater understanding of mood disorders, thought disorders, medications, recovery and coping skills and learn creative problem management.¡±
The Canada Post Foundation for Mental Health is giving out more than $1 million in grants this year to fund projects of 20 non-profit community-based groups in all regions. The groups received grants ranging from $10,000 to $75,000 each.
The grants, which come from money raised in 2008 through the collective efforts of Canada Post, its employees and the public, were allocated by the Foundation to projects that directly benefit people affected by mental illness. Canada Post employees rallied to raise funds for the fledgling Foundation after it was formed in June 2008 to increase awareness and money for mental health, the corporation¡¯s cause of choice.
¡°Canada Post is proud to assist in being able to provide this kind of practical, direct support to people who are struggling to cope with mental illness and to the organizations across the country that deliver services to help them,¡± said Canada Post Director of Operations for NB-PEI Gilles Volpe. ¡°We are pleased to see that almost every dollar donated is going right to the front line where it can do the most good. The need is great, particularly in these times, and only a small share of healthcare spending is devoted to mental illness.¡±
James Roche, Chairman of the Canada Post Foundation for Mental Health added, ¡°Trustees were deeply impressed with the quality and worthiness of applications received. With only $1 million available for disbursement, the Grants Advisory Committee did an excellent job assessing the applications received and in making recommendations to ensure the Foundation¡¯s money will have the greatest positive impact possible on patients and their families. The CMHA ¨C PEI¡¯s program certainly fits that bill.¡±
 |
This October, to coincide with Mental Illness Awareness Week, employees at post offices will again ask customers to donate to the Foundation. On September 14, Canada Post also issued its second fund-raising domestic-rate Mental Health stamp following on the highly successful Mental Health stamp it issued last October. One dollar from the sale of each booklet of 10 stamps goes to the Foundation.

'Wine, Women & Wellness'
Silence about depression isn¡¯t good enough for an award-winning radio personality who was literally left speechless by the illness for a time. ¡°It should be as easy to talk about as having the flu or a broken ankle,¡± says CBC radio host Shelagh Rogers. ¡°But it¡¯s not. There¡¯s a stigma, which is really discrimination by any other name. And that¡¯s got to change.¡±
Rogers, who has been heard by over a million Canadians weekly as host of Sounds Like Canada, will share her story with hundreds of Maritime women in late January. She will tell guests attending Wine Women & Wellness events in Charlottetown, Moncton and Halifax how depression left her speechless for several weeks in 2003.
Now back to health, Rogers has added her famous voice to a growing chorus who think that silence is not acceptable when one in five Canadians are living with mental health disorders.
Rogers will be the guest speaker at a series of three awareness and fundraising events for the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) being held across the region January 29-31. On PEI, ECMA Nominee and recent winner of four Island Music Awards, Meaghan Blanchard, will also be entertaining guests, along with well-known performing group, The Singing Strings.
Sharing stories and discovering how common mental illnesses such as depression and anxiety are is the focus of Wine Women and Wellness. ¡°It is important for others to hear these stories, and know that there is hope for recovery,¡± says Charlene Duffy, Board member of CMHA/PEI Division and Chair of Wine Women and Wellness PEI.
¡°Last year CMHA/PEI hosted Margaret Trudeau, who shared her journey with mental illness. This presentation went a long way in reducing the stigma of mental illness, and increasing the understanding and awareness that mental health is everyone¡¯s concern,¡± says Duffy.
Wine Women and Wellness began six years ago after its founder, Helen MacDonnell, lost her brother to suicide. MacDonnell realized how little she knew about the bi-polar disorder he had lived with and how common mental health disorders are. The Riverview, NB, woman held a house party with 54 women who shared stories, tears and laugher and donated $1,250.00 to the local CMHA.
With support from major organizations such as Scotiabank, Shoppers Drug Mart, Medavie Blue Cross and McInnes Cooper, last year¡¯s Moncton event drew almost 500 women and raised over $65,000.00. These sponsors have generously returned for the 2009 event, providing funding for all three provinces.
This year, an estimated 1000 women across the Atlantic region will attend over three evenings. Money raised in each province stays there to provide programs and support for people living with mental illnesses, their families and the public.
In its first five years, Wine Women & Wellness raised over $130,000.00 for CMHA-Moncton. This year¡¯s target is $125,000.00 across the region, for a six-year total of more than $250,000.00.
Wine Women & Wellness is being hosted by CMHA/PEI Division at the Murchison Centre in Charlottetown on Saturday, January 31. Other Maritime events will take place Thursday, January 29 at the Alderney Landing Theatre in Dartmouth, by CMHA-NS and the Capitol Theatre in Moncton Friday, January 30.

CMHA National Publishes Mental Health High School Curriculum Guide
The Canadian Mental Health Association-National recently published their Mental Health and High School Curriculum Guide: Understanding Mental Health and Mental Illness. The resource was created to support educators within Canadian secondary schools to address issues of mental health and mental illness in the classroom.
The guide includes six lesson plans, complete with activity worksheets and handouts. Each lesson is designed to fit into 50 minutes of classroom time. Flash and video presentations accompany the lessons. The videos were created in partnership with Laing House, a community support centre for young adults, ages 17-24, who are living with serious mental illnesses such as psychosis or mood disorders.
The guide is designed primarily for use in Grades 9 through 12. CMHA worked with Curriculum Services Canada to ensure that the lessons were suitable for health and physical education courses across the country. The guide also fits well with other curriculum areas, including personal development, family living, child studies, psychology and sociology. The project was funded by the Government of Canada¡¯s Social Development Partnerships Program.
This project builds on an earlier initiative by CMHA called Mental Health and High School, which focused on providing high school students, their educators and parents with information about adolescent mental health problems and mental illness and how they can affect young people¡¯s learning.
For more information and to download the complete Mental Health and High School Curriculum Guide, visit www.cmha.ca/highschoolcurriculum. Resources from the Mental Health and High School project are available at www.cmha.ca/highschool.

Margaret Trudeau Luncheon
On October 29, CMHA/PEI Division held its First Annual Fall Fundraising event: a luncheon at the Delta Prince Edward featuring Margaret Trudeau as the keynote speaker. This event turned out to be a huge success on several fronts. Four hundred and seventy six tickets were sold which was more than we ever imagined! But more importantly, Ms. Trudeau¡¯s presentation was inspirational - it was very open and honest focusing on her many years of struggling bipolar illness, her recovery and how she successfully copes today. After the presentation people lined up to meet her, get an autograph and also get their picture taken with her.
The following comments passionately sum up the reactions of many who attended:
|
"I was lucky enough to be in attendance to hear Margaret Trudeau speak yesterday during the inaugrual mental health luncheon.
I just wanted to pass along my sincere congrats on bringing such a profound speaker here to the Island, and thank you for helping bring such important issues into the light. The stigma of mental illness is so unfortunate, but organizations such as yours is helping change that.
I have actually dealt with mental health issues in my family, struggling internally with a torn relationship with a mother who continues to be in the denial about her mental health issues. And, have dealt with deep depression of my own through various points in my life. Much of what Madame Trudeau said struck a deep chord with me and my experiences growing up -- especially in her description of the highs and lows of the mental illness roller coaster.
One of the important things that I think Madame Trudeau underscored in that emotional/mental behaviours are often a result of a physical condition (hormones/enzymes etc). AND, they can be easily solved with the right medication. I am living proof of this.
In any case, I hope that next year's speaker is as special as this year's was." |
Many thanks to the volunteer organizing committee who worked very hard to pull this together and thanks also to our many ticket sellers who helped put us over the top!

U.S. government launches national anti-stigma campaign
The U.S. government has launched a national campaign aimed at 18- to 25-year-olds to reduce stigma related to mental illness.
According to the initiative's website, serious mental health problems are almost twice as prevalent in this age group as among the general population, but young people have much lower rates of help-seeking. Using the slogan "What a Difference a Friend Makes," the campaign aims to show how young people can support friends with mental health problems and that friendship is important to recovery. In a press release, the Assistant Surgeon General notes that this positive approach differs from other anti-stigma campaigns.
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration partnered with the Ad Council to create the campaign, which includes several television and radio public service announcements aimed at young people. The website also features an interactive video that suggests how be supportive to a friend with a mental health problem.
The initiative's website, which includes streaming videos of the public service announcements, is at www.whatadifference.org.
