Healthy Boys, Men, Families, Communities. CCMF reduces male suicide, empowers fathers undergoing separation, and helps men heal from trauma.
We advocate for men before, during and after a crisis. When we help men live their best lives, everybody benefits. Mission
Established in 2014, the Canadian Centre for Men and Families (CCMF) is the country’s first hub for the health and well-being of boys, men, fathers and families. The Centre is an open, inclusive and safe space, providing therapy and counselling, peer support, a legal clinic,
fathering programs, mentorship and support services for male victims of trauma and violence. We provide services, research, advocacy, outreach and public education on all aspects of men’s issues. Vision
Our vision focuses on three critical areas:
1. Reduce suicide among men at high-risk through intervention programs that confront the barriers that men face in seeking help.
2. Empower fathers undergoing separation and divorce through legal clinics and fathering groups that strengthen the father-child relationship, while working to promote positive social attitudes toward fatherhood
3. Support men who are experiencing domestic abuse and other forms of trauma while working with other agencies to improve services for this population. Values
We value equality, tolerance, respect, dignity and acceptance. We value all fundamental freedoms, including freedom of speech, freedom of expression, freedom of thought, freedom of association and freedom of the press. We believe in the importance of discussing different perspectives and we oppose censorship of controversial or politically incorrect ideas. We value peaceful and non-violent approaches to settling differences. We value the human rights of each and every individual. We believe the advancement of human rights is not a zero sum game where some will win only if others lose. We believe every human wins when any individual succeeds in advancing their human rights. We value people above ideas; we strive to ensure beneficial outcomes for our clients, personnel and our community. We value education; as an educational charity, we are committed to the highest standards of education and strive to continually improve educational content and experience. We value public policy that flows from fact-led and evidence-based scientific research rather than political or ideological commitment or special interest agenda. We value the wellness of people; we strive to improve the wellness of our personnel, our community and the public. We value excellence; at all times, we undertake to continually improve our business based on feedback, input and participation of our community, personnel and the public. We value transparency; at all times, we undertake to demonstrate transparency to our personnel, members and the public. We are an open and diverse community of individuals that embraces individuals regardless of sex, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, race, religion, age, martial status or national origin.

This Father’s Day, join us for a meaningful Father’s Day Gathering with CCMF BC as we come together to honor and celebrate the fathers and father-figures in our lives.
This event is about connection, community, and appreciation—creating space to recognize the important role dads play in our families, while also supporting men’s mental health and wellbeing.
Whether you're a father, a child, a partner, or someone wanting to show gratitude for a father in your life, you are warmly welcome.
We hope to see you there for a thoughtful and supportive gathering.
To those who love a father—a partner, child, sibling, parent, or friend:
Sometimes the strongest men are the ones who struggle to ask for help. They carry stress quietly, put their families first, and often face challenges alone.
This Father's Day and Men's Health Week, remind him that he doesn't have to have all the answers and he doesn't have to carry the weight by himself.
A simple conversation. A listening ear. Encouragement to seek support. These small acts can make a world of difference.
💙 This Father's Day, instead of a tie, give him something even more meaningful: the reassurance that help is here when he needs it.
This Father's Day and Men's Health Week, let's give the men in our lives something they may never ask for: support.
Behind strength, there can be stress. Behind silence, there can be struggle. Together, we can create a community where fathers, sons, and all men know they don't have to face life's challenges alone.
💙 Because support is one of the greatest gifts we can give. Learn more about CCMF's programs and supports for men and boys: https://menandfamilies.org/

"Who do you ask for help, Dad?"
It's a simple question with an important message. Seeking support is a sign of strength, and taking care of your mental health matters just as much as your physical health.
During Men's Health Week and this Father's Day, let's start the conversation and show men and boys that it's okay to ask for help- for themselves and for their children.
If you or someone you know could use support, visit our website to explore resources, programs, and information designed to help men and their families: https://menandfamilies.org/

June is Men's Health Month!
Men's health is about more than physical well-being. Mental health, healthy relationships, social connection, and access to support all matter.
Too often, men face pressure to struggle in silence. This month, we encourage men to check in with themselves, connect with others, and reach out for support when needed.
Let's continue building a culture where men and boys feel supported, connected, and empowered to thrive.
