My Path

Free Online Learning Courses

Visit My Path where we focus on helping people develop skills and knowledge to support their own mental health or their loved one’s recovery. My Path is for anyone: youth, older adults, family, friends, and parents. You are not required to have a referral, diagnosis, previous experience or be a CMHA WW client to participate. All are welcome!   These resources are created to empower you on your journey toward mental well-being! Our offerings are crafted by those with lived experiences or by a trained mental health professional, blending personal wisdom with practical knowledge to help you build inner strength and promote self-care.

Each course is tailored with specific age and attendance requirements, ensuring that participants can gain the skills necessary to help their communities, workplaces, and loved ones.
