Wellness Programs
CMHA Vernon’s wellness programs for adults are designed to support individuals in building resilience, improving emotional well-being, and navigating life’s challenges. Through education, peer support, and inclusive programming, adults can gain practical skills, connect with others, and take an active role in their personal wellness journey.
Recreation and social programs
CMHA Vernon’s Recreation and Social Program offers a safe, welcoming space for individuals living with mental health challenges to reconnect, build confidence, and feel a sense of belonging. Mental illness can lead to isolation and low self-esteem—this program helps bridge that gap through meaningful social and recreational activities.
Participants enjoy weekly community outings and an annual summer camping trip, promoting emotional wellness, physical activity, and peer connection. Open to both residents and community members, the program encourages healing through fun, friendship, and shared experiences.
Foodanomics is CMHA Vernon’s hands-on kitchen initiative that teaches essential life skills—meal planning, budgeting, cooking, and food safety—in a supportive, inclusive environment. The program help build confidence, independence, and resilience, while promoting mental wellness, food security, and community connection.
Participants gain practical skills, can earn FoodSafe certification, and access pathways to employment, education, and volunteer opportunities.
Wellness Grants
Exercise and socialization are great ways to benefit mental health and well-being. The Wellness Grants program provides an opportunity for people with a mental illness and financial need to access activities they would otherwise be unable to afford.
Activities may include; fitness activities, educational courses, fees for instruction, artistic pursuits, or special family activities.
Individuals can apply for grants up to a maximum of $200.00 per year ($400.00 for families or groups).
