CMHA History
The Canadian Mental Health Association was founded in 1918
by Dr.Clarence Hincks. He understood about mental illness
because he had one himself. It was originally called the Canadian
National Committee for Mental Hygiene (CNCMH).
The CNCMH was formed by a group of professionals in reaction
to the appalling conditions in mental hospitals and institutions
at the time. Conditions that included gross overcrowding and
severe understaffing.
