About Hope

Supporting Mental Health in Nova Scotia Since 1982

Hope for Mental Health, formerly the Schizophrenia Society of Nova Scotia, was established in 1982 to support individuals living with schizophrenia, as well as their families and friends.

Our Mission

Helping people live well in their communities

Our mission is to provide programs, services, and education to support and empower individuals and families impacted by mental illness, so that they can achieve their goals and live their best lives.

Hope for Mental Health provides a variety of programs and services for people living with mental illness and their families and friends. These programs promote and support living well in the community.

Living well in community means having the supports, knowledge, and resources needed to pursue recovery, participate in community life, and recognize when additional support may be helpful.
