1. Introduction

 
9% of survey complete.

Thank you for agreeing to complete the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) of Central Alberta 2017 Speak Up for Mental Health survey. If you are completing a paper copy of the survey, mail it to us at CMHA, 5017 50th Avenue, Red Deer, Alberta T4N 4B2 or drop it by our office.

This survey is an important part of our effort to improve the mental health education we offer. We will use it to plan our workshops, courses, and support groups. The results may also indicate areas in which more services are needed.

Unless you choose to provide your contact information to us, this survey does not collect any information that could be used to personally identify you. All survey results are combined together and your individual survey responses are not available to us.

The survey takes some people only 10 minutes or so to complete. Other people may take 30 minutes. Although it does not have to be done at one sitting, we recommend that you do not begin answering questions unless you have the time you need.

We have divided the survey into four sections. Each section has a number of topics within it. You will have the opportunity to add additional topics as well. You can skip sections or complete them all.


The sections are:
  • Relationships and communication
  • Mental health services and treatment
  • Workplace mental health
  • Mental health recovery and wellness

Our one-time workshops address a single topic or a closely linked group of topics. You can expect to see workshops addressing the topics people are most interested in. Our courses and support groups often include more topics within one of the four sections.

Before we get going, we would like to collect some information that will be helpful across all four sections. At the end of the survey, we will ask a few more questions that will give us demographic information.

Thanks for participating in this important survey!
