A Message from Our CEO – Winter 2024 Community Newsletter

In case you missed this announcement, we were thrilled to welcome our new CEO Pam Tobin in September. More on Pam and her new role with CMHA TVAMHS here.

I am honoured to step into the role of CEO with CMHA Thames Valley Addiction and Mental Health Services.

As we continue to navigate the ever-evolving landscape of mental health and addiction, I want to thank each and every one of our team members for their dedication and passion to this important work. Their commitment to excellence has been instrumental in our ability to provide high quality services and supports to our clients and I am so proud to lead such an amazing team.

Looking to the future, I am excited for the opportunities ahead and I am confident that together, we will reach new goals. Strategic planning is underway and we look forward to hearing from our staff, partners, stakeholders and supporters to collaboratively set future priorities.

Creating an inclusive environment for staff and clients alike has always been one of our top priorities and we will continue to build on the strong foundation laid over the past year to implement our framework of equity, diversity and inclusion.

As we reflect on 2023, I would like to express my appreciation for your support and confidence in our team. Together we can accomplish so much and I look forward to the year ahead.

With the holiday season quickly approaching, we are reminded that for many, this time of year can be challenging. The holidays often bring a mix of emotions, and can sometimes foster or intensify feelings of loneliness, anxiety, or stress. We understand the importance of providing support during these times.

Our dedicated team is here to help 24/7. Whether you need someone to talk to or resources to navigate through difficult moments, we are committed to offering a helping hand.

Our services are available both in person and virtually. You can find details on how to access support by visiting our website.

All the best for the remainder of this year, and I hope you take the time to spend with friends and family in a way that is meaningful for you.
