For 50 years, the Cana-dian Mental Health Asso-ciation has been provid-ing services for Nanaimo

residents. “Currently we house 15

people at the Balmoral facility and 36 people at the Wesley Street project, which has now been open for one year,” said Carol Keane, acting association president.

Programs run by the non-profit group are varied, but all focus on encouraging mental and physical health.

“Individuals dealing with mental health issues can find it challenging to make and eat a balanced diet,” said Keane. “The Peppermill Meal program provides healthy frozen meals for a low cost of $2.50 per meal and the Phoenix Center Club-house offers lunch for partici-pants.”

For Keane it isn’t just the programs that serve residents, it’s the workshops and skills training CMHA provide to stop the downward spiral of mental illness.

“We offer real life experience at the Balmoral facility. Par-ticipants can learn to answer the phone, use a computer and shadow volunteers doing a variety of work,” she said.

Learning valuable, employ-able skills not only provides a sense of purpose, but also enables individuals placed in work positions to create and grow a network of support-ive friends, gain self respect, develop routines and contrib-ute to their community.

Keane added that stability and balance are keys for peo-ple dealing with mental health issues and these programs help people get on the right path.

Unfortunately, there are still

stigmas attached to mental health which might keep peo-ple from seeking help.

Local supporters like the Applecross Home Hardware want to change that.

“The CMHA is under sup-ported and under recognized,” said Doug Fast, manager of the Applecross store and longterm association supporter.

He said that mental health

issues affect everyone from a family member with depres-sion to a spouse dealing with dementia and telling them to ‘buck up’ isn’t helpful. “They need support, information and

a place to go where they are understood.”

That’s why on Friday and Saturday (Oct.18-19), Apple-cross Home Hardware will be partnering with the CMHA to celebrate the store’s third anniversary and provide infor-mation on mental health.

“It’s a great opportunity for the association to gain expo-sure, share our vision and answer questions,” said Keane.

Mental health issues aren’t going anywhere.

In fact, according to Keane, there needs to be more open-ness and dialogue around it because of the increase in instability in the world.

“People are worried about the economy, their jobs, and the environment,” she said. “They feel their confidence in the future being eroded and that can lead to anxiety.”

Fortunately, the association and its dedicated volunteers and trained staff are available. Most have experience with mental health issues, either personally or with family and friends and are compassionate givers of their time and energy.

Most importantly said Keane, there needs to be compas-sion and conversation not just about mental health issues but about individuals effected by it.

Because, as she puts it, “ask a roomful of people if they or anyone they know has dealt with mental health issues and most of the room raises their hand.”

Applecross Home Hardware is at 6582 North Island Hwy., near Costco. For more informa-tion, please call 250-933-2400.
