About

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

The Mission

Our mission is we provide programs, services, and education to support and empower individuals and families effected by mental illness to achieve their goals and live their best lives.

Hope For Mental Health provides a continuum of programs and services for people living with a mental illness and their family/friends. These programs promote and support wellness. “Living Well in Community”, is about providing the necessary supports to individuals with lived experience, which enable 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.
