💜 This past Saturday, we connected with the community at the Goderich Market for International Overdose Awareness Day (IOAD). Thank you to everyone who stopped by, asked questions, and showed support—it truly makes a difference.

Bill 10 is here, and with it comes a new law that increases landlord responsibility for drug-related activity in rentals.

We’re watching closely to see how this plays out, especially for housing providers and tenants navigating complex challenges.

CMHA Huron Perth was proud to be part of Stratford Pride 2025!

One of our team members, also a Pride board member, helped host our table and connect with the community. Despite the chill, the day was full of joy, fun, and rainbows. 🏳️‍🌈

2SLGBTQIA+ folks face higher rates of mental health issues, substance use and suicide because of rejection, isolation and discrimination.
We need systems that actually support people.
