The Community Health Council developed its first Mission Statement as part of the Community Health Plan for its official designation on December 14, 1994.

The purpose of YMCA-YWCA is to involve individuals and families of all backgrounds and abilities in the YMCA-YWCA so that they can grow healthier in spirit, mind and body, and develop a sense of responsibility to each other and the global community. This is accomplished by providing individuals with opportunities to participate, volunteer and donate in a YMCA-YWCA values based environment. The themes of belonging, serving, leading and renewing are fundamental to the nature and core of a YMCA-YWCA.

Formerly British Columbia Parents In Crisis Society

To realize our vision and mission we create opportunities for parents and grandparents that foster independence and personal responsibility, and by creating cost-effective and comprehensive community based services in cooperation with public and private partners.

Our staff is dedicated to providing these services with respect, compassion, and accountability, and to championing the Canadian Charter of Rights and the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.

We support families and their rights in this way because we value inclusion, social justice, and collaboration. And we believe that, when we work together and learn from each other, these values can transform conflict into understanding; that understanding can transform hurt-filled households into healthy homes; and that healthy families can transform unjust societies into strong communities.

That is why, at PSS, our goal is to build healthy communities, one family at a time.

The Kaiser Foundation

Mental health and addictions are not moral issues.
They are public health issues. 

Mental health and addictions are complex issues, affecting all levels of society. Did you know that the conservative estimated total annual expenditure on mental health and addictions exceeds $70 billion in Canada alone. Combined, they constitute the largest single cause of morbidity for ages 14 to 45.

To date, governments fund the vast majority of initiatives addressing mental health and addictions. Governments alone cannot solve these problems. The Private Sector needs to be actively aware of and involved in helping find solutions to these issues. Community-based programs do exemplary work but need more funding and too rarely have the opportunity to work with and learn from each other.

The Guysborough Antigonish Strait Health Authority (GASHA) is one of nine district health authorities established by the Nova Scotia Department of Health on January 1st 2001, following the proclamation of Bill 34, the Health Authorities Act.

Replacing the Regional Health Board system, the District Health Authorities were created to bring health care decision-making closer to the community level and improve accountability for health care decisions.
