Philosophy
Here at ICMHA we understand that mental health affects everyone differently. Our drop-in programs are designed to meet you where you are at, and provide the support you deserve.
We provide a welcoming safe space for individuals seeking support in their mental health journey. You will participate in meaningful discussions and mindful skill based activities that improve mental wellness and cognitive functions and fits with your individual abilities. As well as arts and crafts projects and community engagement.
You’ll be encouraged to explore new community resources and activities, learn skills to set, achieve, modify and track goals.

SERVICES PROVIDED
- At the BRIDGE Centre, participants work in collaboration with staff to determine what they want from the program and how staff can best support them. We encourage individuals through interaction with each other, within the community, and participation in activities which build on social and personal skills, healthy lifestyle choices, recreation, and mindfulness.
WHERE AND WHEN TO MEET
The BRIDGE Centre meets at 125 Skinner Street Monday- Friday from 10.00-3.00. Participants can choose which groups they would like to attend throughout the week and if they decide to stay for the whole day must bring their own lunch and snack. Please note, the program is closed from 12-1 for lunch. We can assist people in arranging their own transportation through HandyDART, or in helping to plan a bus trip.
