The Canadian Mental Health Association has three offices on Prince Edward Island that provide programs and services to promote mental wellness. They offer various pamphlets and resources on topics related to mental health issues, illnesses, and coping strategies. The organization aims to support all Islanders through programs like consumer advocacy, a consumer and family support program, an educational program called I'm Thumbody for children, and initiatives for mental health awareness and suicide prevention. Membership is available and helps support their efforts.
