Why I Support Mental Health
In any given year, 1 in 5 Canadians will experience a mental health issue or illness.
But 5 in 5 Canadians - every single one of us - has mental health. And we all need to take care of it.
Mental health isn’t just something we can lose. It’s something we can promote, protect and celebrate. To feel well, we all need to have a good sense of self, feel hope, feel like we’re making a contribution, be resilient and enjoy ourselves. The pandemic has made this harder (much harder), but we can take a stand and do something to help ourselves, and to help others.
The Canadian Mental Health Association helps people take care of their mental health. With 87 branches, regions and divisions in over 330 communities, CMHA is the most established and extensive community mental health organization in Canada and a national leader in community-based mental health care. CMHA is here to help keep people out of crisis, to help keep people well.
Help me pay tribute while supporting others in taking care of their mental health.
