2020 is a very special year for SSA. On July 29 we are proud to be celebrating 40 years of our Society’s commitment and dedication to those living with and affected by schizophrenia and psychosis. Over the past 40 years, SSA has grown and evolved on many levels including programming and supports, education and advocacy, all in an effort to further identify and meet the needs of the community we serve and at large, throughout the province.

If you, or someone you know, has been involved with SSA at any time since 1980, we are hoping you could share a story with us. Give us a call or drop us a line, we would love to hear from you!
