The mission of the Bert Nash Center is to advance the health of the Douglas County community through comprehensive behavioral health services responsive to evolving needs and changing environments.

Strengthening communities by improving health and safety, one family at a time.

As the largest specialized or 'tertiary' centre east of Toronto our programs are aimed at treating people with complex and serious mental illnesses that are often resistant to conventional treatments. In addition to inpatient beds, the majority of these programs feature day treatment options and outreach activities for patients living in the community. Each and every one of us has a personal connection to mental illness given that one out of every five people in Canada is affected. They are our mothers, brothers, colleagues and friends – they are those we know and love and we want to ensure they receive the very best care when they need it. The need for support has never been greater -please donate as generously as you can today to help us make a difference.

Canadian Mental Health Association/Peel Branch began in 1962 when members set out to persuade the Mississauga Hospital Board to create a psychiatric unit. CMHA/Peel has steadily grown from a handful of staff to more than 75 who serve in 12 programs, including a resource centre, two clubhouses, a drop-in, outreach for adults and youth, case management, court support, and its newest program, CMHA/Peel ACT (Assertive Community Treatment). Celebrating its 45th year serving residents of Brampton, Caledon and Mississauga, which make up the Region of Peel, CMHA/Peel operates on a RECOVERY philosophy. The CMHA "Framework for Support" defines RECOVERY as "regaining a significant degree of control in one's life and finding a positive sense of self and a meaningful place in the world. The illness loses its central and life-defining position and takes on a more secondary role ...RECOVERY needs to be achieved not once, but over and over again."
