Welcome to the Alberta Mental Health Board (AMHB).

Mental health is more than the absence of mental illness. It is having meaningful and positive interactions with other people and the environment, the ability to adapt well to change and cope with adversity, and finding a balance in all aspects of life – mental, physical, emotional, social and spiritual. In short, there is no health without mental health.

Advancing mental health is our vision. More about the AMHB…
