WHAT IS IT: Located throughout the province and run by, and for, persons living with mental illness, activity centres have a focus on prevention and promotion. Their self-help programs are varied and are based according to local needs and interests. These centres promote community integration by providing social, vocational, recreational and advocacy activities. They help people become more independent of formal services by means of peer support, education, and mutual aid.

WHAT WE THINK: We think this is important because.Children should hang out with other children. People with mental disabilities need help so they can get a job and live a good life.

DEFINITION OF NGO:

A non-governmental organization ( **NGO **) is any non-profit, voluntary citizens' group which is organized on a local, national or international level.
