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.
