Welcome to AAMH Canada!


Hello everyone!  Thank you for coming to www.aamh.ca!  Come here to find out what's going on with the Artists' Alliance for Mental Health Canada, as we build up our operations and launch events, activities and initiatives all across the country.  Find out more about the role of the arts in mental health, and how you can help eliminate discrimination against those living with mental health concerns.

The first three weeks of AAMH Canada have been busy ones, and 2010 promises to be a year of activity.  So be sure to email the following contacts to join the planning in areas of interest to you:

We are also working with our peers south of the border to launch a parallel organization in the United States of America:

We also will be working in communities across Canada through our network of local artists' caucuses.  Get involved by directly contacting your area's Caucus Lead.  If your community is not listed below, and you are interested in starting a local artists' caucus there, send an email to aamh.canada@gmail.com.
