Beautiful Minds encourages people in the community to become involved in our mental wellness program by becoming a volunteer speaker for our classroom presentations. From time-to-time we also have volunteer opportunities in the area of program support.

Speakers are volunteers who have experienced a mental health issue and want to share their story with others.

Training is provided to our volunteer speakers. During our training sessions, these volunteers develop their skills in public speaking and other topics. All volunteers are given an extensive training manual. The training focus is on the classroom presentation dealing with mental health and mental wellness.

Other volunteer speaking opportunities are occasionally available through other programs offered to the community through the Community Development and Educational Services Department of Canadian Mental Health Association, Grand River Branch.  If you would also like to speak with CMHA's other programs, ask for more details during our volunteer training sessions.
