The Mental Health Foundation of Nova Scotia’s President & CEO, Starr Cunningham, joined CTV Your Morning Atlantic to talk about the power of connection — and how the Foundation’s latest Community Grants are helping strengthen it across communities.
In the conversation, Starr highlighted how connection — to services, to care, and to each other — plays a critical role in mental wellness, and how community-led programs are helping people feel supported and less alone.
The Foundation’s Community Grants Program complements clinical care and helps bridge gaps, supporting initiatives designed by communities, for communities.
