Spring Community Newsletter – CEO Update

As we enter the 2024-2025 fiscal year, we are excited for new opportunities that include strategic and operational planning for the next three years. In order to support this work, we are enhancing committees of the Board and inviting community members to contribute to these important conversations.

Our Board committees are vital in guiding CMHA TVAMHS’ strategic and operational direction, fuelled by a collective passion for mental health and addiction advocacy. We are seeking diverse perspectives and qualifications, including Francophone community membership, System Performance expertise, a dedication to Health Equity and Enterprise Risk Management experience.

Expertise in these matters will help enrich our decision-making processes and allow us to better serve the Thames Valley region. Your involvement could significantly enhance our effectiveness, and we encourage you to explore this opportunity further by reaching out to Peggy-Jo Grass, our Executive Office and Board Administrator, at peggy.grass@cmhatv.ca or going to our website.

This spring, we also look forward to Mental Health Week 2024, which will take place May 6 to May 12. This year will focus on the healing power of compassion and being kind to one another. More information about Mental Health Week can be found on our social media and website, and I encourage everyone to connect with our Facebook and Instagram.

We are excited about the achievements awaiting us in the upcoming fiscal year – and we appreciate your role in helping to make our shared vision a reality in Thames Valley. Thank you for your support and compassion for mental health and addiction care.

• Pam Tobin, CEO
