The Canadian Mental Health Association Brant Haldimand Norfolk launched a new five-year plan on March 3, 2026, to improve local support services for residents in Brantford, Ontario. This roadmap will guide how the organization provides mental health resources and crisis help through 2030.
To create the plan, the agency gathered feedback from employees, community partners, and people who use the services to find out what they needed most. The results showed that residents want faster access to care and a system that is simpler to navigate.
Under the leadership of CEO Lynn Hinds, the group will also focus on making sure care is culturally safe and centred on the needs of the individual. These priorities aim to better support people aged 16 and older who are living with mental illness and their families.
Board President Brian Grice joined the agency leadership in announcing these new goals, which include building stronger partnerships with other local groups. The organization is responsible for providing mental health education and recovery support throughout the region.
