Momentum Counselling hosted the MMHAs in 2018 and 2019, Edmonton’s largest celebration in the mental health sector. The MMHAs celebrate the mental health community by recognizing both individuals and organizations who have championed mental health initiatives, advocacy efforts and are making a difference in our community. This year, we planned to host the MMHAs at the Fantasyland Hotel on October 6, 2022. Unfortunately, there was not enough interest to make it viable. Thanks to our sponsor, Alberta Blue Cross, as well as the generous support of Stanhope Eatery and Bar, we were able to honour each nominee with a framed certificate, a $75 gift card to Stanhope and a Alberta Blue Cross coffee mug. Congratulations to all the nominees, and thank you for your leadership championing mental health and wellbeing in our community!
