CMHA TVAMHS has cut almost 100 positions of publicly funded mental health and addictions care workers at a time that we need 100 additional staff. They added 11 more managers to their 60 existing and bought a building while cutting publicly funded front-line roles which devastates the care to those who need mental health and addictions support in our 4 counties (Oxford, Elgin, London -Middlesex and Huron).
We are picketing with a sick procession in bandages and dark shadow under our eyes as the welcoming party to their swanky year in review event on September 25th.
The almost 100 staff position cuts at CMHA are making us sick, our communities sick, and we are concerned that someone is going to die as a result!
