Canadian Mental Health Association BC

The Canadian Mental Health Association BC Division (CMHA BC) is the leading organization dedicated to promoting mental health for all, across British Columbia, and has an exciting new leadership opportunity.

CMHA BC brings together experience and expertise on community-based mental health promotion and support for people living with mental illness. This approach, as well as CMHA BC’s ability to speak to a broad range of issues surrounding mental health and mental illness, truly makes it one of a kind.

CMHA BC provides advocacy and resources that help to prevent mental health problems and illnesses, support recovery and resilience, and enable all British Columbians to flourish and thrive. Through workplace programs, direct support programs for youth and families, training and workshops, and advocacy and mental health promotion work, we always focus on our three strategic priorities to reach, uplift, and advance mental health for all.

These are a some of the many reasons why CMHA BC is recruiting a new Senior Director of Development and Communications to join them in this important work. Having restructured to strategically combine these two departments, CMHA BC is seeking an experienced, energized, and visionary leader to help secure the resources needed to further its mission and be responsible for shaping this new portfolio.

This is an exciting new leadership opportunity for an experienced social profit leader to:

  • Build a new department and shape it according to best practices, bringing strategy and direction to a nascent fundraising department and ensuring excellence in communications;
  • Tell the story of CMHA BC’s amazing work and need for ongoing support;
  • Participate in transformational change during an inflection point in CMHA BC’s life cycle;
  • Make a tremendous impact in peoples lives and help address complex and exciting social and health issues.
