We are thrilled to announce that Canadian Mental Health Association will be offering the RISE program, a group focused on releasing and integrating strong emotions.

This program offers a safe and supportive environment for individuals seeking to develop healthy coping mechanisms and emotional resilience. This program is free and individuals can self refer.

As RISE enters this new chapter our focus is to be gender inclusive, welcoming people of all genders and identities, including non-binary and gender diverse individuals. The program will run two evenings per week Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6 pm -8 pm (4 hours a week) for 12 sessions. Our first group begins September 16th and will run through to October 28th. The groups will be held in our clubhouse #103-1873 Main Street Penticton.

We are scheduling intakes so if you are interested in joining the RISE program or learning more about this valuable resource please email vince.galea@cmhasos.ca or contact us at 250-493-8999 for more information.
