Children's Mental Health Ontario

The Customer

Children's Mental Health Ontario (CMHO) is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to promoting and supporting the mental health of children, youth, and families in Ontario, Canada. CMHO provides advocacy, public education, and services to help those who are struggling with mental health issues.

The Challenge

As a part of their outreach efforts, they needed a website that was user-friendly, multilingual, and allowed agencies to manage their own profiles. Additionally, they needed an advanced map system that would display agencies based on geolocation and allow users to search by postal code, city, or agency name.

The Solution

e-dimensionz developed a custom Joomla theme based on CMHO's design requirements. We also built an advanced newsletter manager that integrated with Constant Contact's API, enabling automatic scheduling of campaigns and a custom accompanying newsletter builder. An advanced access control system (ACL) was implemented to ensure that only authorized members and agencies could access specific parts of the website. Agencies could log in and manage their profiles, including adding videos and documents to a library that had access control.

e-dimensionz also implemented a Google Maps system that displayed agencies based on geolocation and allowed users to search by postal code, city, or agency name. The map and list of agencies were managed by agencies themselves, making the website even more user-friendly.
