CMHA reflects on a year filled with triumph and tragedy By Dan Jensen
The Canadian Mental Health Association reflected on a year of triumph and tears at its annual general meeting Dec. 7. The triumph came in the form of strengthened partnerships with the Augustana Faculty of the University of Alberta and the continued success of seven programs that support over 200 individuals. The tears came when CMHA employee Val Wolski lost her life in a t ragic incident involving a 25-year-old man with reduced mental capacity. "Words cannot begin to capture our sense of loss for Val
Wolski," said Craig Martin in his CMHA president's report. "We put much time and energy into piecing together what happened. A h eartfelt thank you to the community and many service providers who rallied around us in support in the days and weeks that followed." The tragedy prompted policy changes, new safety practices and additional security measures, and is l eading to new practices in information exchange between agencies. An Occupational Health and Safety Committee now meets monthly to review best practices, assessments and policy. The province has
announced a fa tality inquiry will take place upon the completion of the investigation of Alberta Health and Safety. "This will be a valuable step toward preventing future tragedies of this nature in Alberta," said Martin. The year started with five CMHA staff completing the Hope Studies Certificate through NorQuest College. "Our staff of 19 people have continued to display their dedication and commitment to our vision and mission," said Martin. I a m perpetually in awe of the hard work and passion that each staff member brings to the agency."
