Mental Health Week 2023
Mental Health Week is May 1-7, 2023 and on May 3, it is Hats On for Mental Health Day.
This year’s Mental Health Week theme is My Story.
“Storytelling is a fundamental part of being human. Stories help build connections and strong communities. Storytelling, in all its forms, supports mental health and reduces stigma. This year’s Mental Health Week will amplify some of the voices and spaces within which mental health exists across Canada, especially at the community level through non-profit agencies and programs.” (Canadian Mental Health Association, 2023).
It is important to start the conversations around mental health and find different ways that we can show support, acceptance and continued awareness for mental health. If you would like to learn more about the different ways you can end the stigma surrounding mental health, check out these resources below!
