Shannex is leading the way to better living through its generosity toward Nova Scotians living with mental illness and addiction and their loved ones. A valued partner of the Mental Health Foundation of Nova Scotia, Shannex has been the sponsor of the Shannex Holiday Luncheon for the past ten years though Shannex’s commitment to mental health runs much deeper. Shannex partners with the Kings Regional Rehabilitation Centre to provide hand-made ornaments for Holiday Luncheon guests.
“The Shannex Holiday Luncheon is one of the most inspiring events on the social calendar which is directly correlated to Shannex’s passion for going above and beyond,” says Starr Cunningham, Mental Health Foundation of Nova Scotia President & CEO. “From the community outreach and handmade touch of the Luncheon ornaments to its constant presence and support, and elaborate chef-made cakes. We are absolutely honoured to have Shannex as a friend and partner.”
Shannex and its staff members strive to eradicate stigma and provide hope to those living with mental illness and addiction through its philanthropy and its ongoing efforts to improve the quality of care for residents. The continuing care facilities offer numerous programs and services that enhance the mental health and wellness of its residents and staff including music therapy, recreational therapy and its Employee and Family Assistance Program.
Shannex is proud to be changing the way people think about mental illness and addiction within its own communities, and the province as a whole.
