CASA Mental Health

We all know games are fun, but did you know they’re also crucial in developing kids’ executive functioning skills, and help to foster connection? Bryan Fleet, mental health therapist here at CASA Mental Health recently chatted with Global News about how games can help develop skills like turn-taking, direction following, planning and strategizing: https://heyor.ca/C7dyGj

Such a fantastic collaborative discussion! We're excited for the future and the opportunities to come.

Thank you to our amazing community of donors and community members for attending CASA Carnival on Friday, Nov. 1. Your support means the world to everyone at CASA, as well as the kids and families we serve.

Thank you for your support!

My heart is full. On Friday, I was reminded of the power of community as we hosted the CASA Carnival at the Edmonton Convention Centre. Looking around the room at the long-time supporters, staff, volunteers, corporate partners, and board members, I was struck by what our collective action has accomplished. We are remaking the mental care system in the province for kiddos, and it is in large part due to the folks assembled and countless other donors and partners from around the province. CASA Mental Health continues to work towards the dream of an Alberta with shorter wait times and more support for kiddos and their families. We are blessed to collaborate with so many partners. The organizations, businesses, and donors that support us are legends and help us not for recognition opportunities but to make Alberta a world leader in Mental Health for children, youth, and families. It is my honor to play a small part in working with all these contributors as we build a better Alberta for my nieces and nephews than my generation had. CASA Mental has done great things, and I assure you we are just getting started. #Mentalhealthmatters #yeg #youaintseennothingyet
