New Free Wellness Courses by CMHA x YMCA

Together, YMCA Calgary and Canadian Mental Health Association Calgary's Recovery College are dedicated to expanding accessible mental health education opportunities in our community. 

This series of four courses offered at Saddletowne YMCA is designed to empower and educate using an educational based approach. The pilot program aims to help people recognize and develop their own resourcefulness and awareness, in order to become experts in their own recovery and wellness.

Recovery College is for anyone. You are not required to have a referral, diagnosis, previous experience, or be a YMCA or CMHA Calgary client to participate.
