CMHAs impact on my life has been nothing but beautifully life changing. People there really cared about me.

This organization has helped me grow and flourish, and create a life worth living. It has been a crucial part of my wellness recovery and I only hope others can experience this too with this amazing, caring and invaluable organization.

CMHA has had a huge impact on my life. They contacted me when I was at my lowest point and helped get me to where I am today. The staff is amazing and they really put their clients at the forefront of their recovery. I wouldnt be where I am today without this organization and am very grateful!

One 5-star review was obviously not from someone who has been a client; they just list the supposed things CMHA Ottawa offers. The worker I had did very, very little for me. Two emails to their supervisor garnered no response. Asked the worker to attend a doctor's appointment with me where the doctor was rude, insulting and obnoxious. The worker said nothing. CMHA Ottawa continues to go downhill. They offer very few groups while Middlesex CMHA had 50 separate groups. They don't participate in the national fundraiser or have a major fundraiser of their own. They aren't doing anything to improve the situation for those with mental health issues in Ottawa. The director of CMHA Ottawa has been there too long. It's time to retire and let someone who cares take over (Hopefully from outside CMHA Ottawa or nothing is likely to change). The staff in charge of communications at CMHA Ottawa don't keep the website up-to-date, even when it's mentioned the website has misinformation. There are a few great people working there but I had little interaction with them. Failure to accommodate was another issue I had with them. Sadly, CMHA National doesn't seem to care about all of this.
