Due to an overwhelming response, we have filled each spot we have for the holiday health hampers! Thank you to everyone who nominated their loved ones. If you are able, we are still accepting donations for the holiday health hampers.
The holiday health hamper is a package full of activities that focus on wellness over the holidays. This can be a tough time for many. It is not always full of joy or excitement and often anxiety, loneliness and other frustrations creep in.
CMHA hopes that the wellness activities provided in the hampers will help to ease the challenges that the holiday season can bring, as well as offer support in maintaining positive well-being.
Donate a Holiday Health Hamper to someone in need.
If you would like to donate a hamper to someone in need, tap here to go to our donation page. Please choose the Holiday Health Hamper ($60) tab and your funds will be allocated to the hamper project. Thank you giving the gift of mental health!

World Suicide Prevention Day 2023

This year, in honour of World Suicide Prevention Day on September 10th, we are holding space for those we have lost to suicide.
From Friday – Sunday (September 8 – 10), stop by CMHA Saskatoon and light a candle in honour of those you love.
This is meant to be a private and personal candlelight vigil. Outside you will find a box with a pen and paper where you may write your loved ones name and a message to them, if you choose. Then, tape it to a candle, and flip the switch on the bottom of the candle to “light it.”

We hope this provides our community with an opportunity to grieve and remember their loved ones.
If you require additional support please contact CMHA Saskatoon at 306-384-9333 or email info@cmhasaskatoon.ca. Please note that we are not a crisis organization. If you find yourself in crisis please contact Mobile Crisis at 306-933-6200.

Delisle Community Walk for Mental Health
2023-09-23 10:00 - 11:00 | Delisle AGT Arena, 300 3rd Avenue W, Delisle, Saskatchewan, S0L 0P0, Canada
The 2nd Annual Delisle Community Walk for Mental Health will be held on Saturday, September 23rd, in memory of Dwaine.
“After Dwaine died, those of us who loved him struggled, as all those left behind by suicide do, with the longing of wanting to know what we could have done to keep him from taking his own life. Over the last 10 months, we’ve come to realize that there was nothing we could have done. He was the only one who could have changed the outcome and had he been more aware of the help available and was more receptive to receiving that help, it may have made a difference and he’d still be here today.
This event to raise awareness and get people talking, helps to ease our longing of wanting to know what we could have done to save him…because we’re doing something to save others.”
— Angela
In lieu of personal pledges, donations in memory of Dwaine will be gratefully accepted for CMHA Saskatoon to support critical programs and services.
