About

Hope For Mental Health, formerly The Schizophrenia Society of Nova Scotia was established in 1982 to support individuals living with Schizophrenia, as well as their family and friends.

The Mission

Our mission is to provide programs, services, and education to support and empower individuals and families impacted by mental illness, so that they can achieve their goals and live their best lives.

Hope For Mental Health provides a variety of programs and services for people living with a mental illness and their family/friends. These programs promote and support living well in the community. “Living Well in Community,” is about providing the necessary supports to individuals with lived experience, which enables them to experience recovery and to live a full life as part of the community.

Participants develop skills and knowledge about how to access supports empowering them to live in community and to develop the ability to recognize when added supports are needed to remain in community.
