Mental Illness Awareness Week is October 2-9, 2022
In Canada, mental illness impacts 1.2 million of our children and youth. By the time they reach age 25, that number increases to around 1 in 5 Canadians. Spreading awareness, education, and support is crucial in supporting children, youth, and families affected by mental illness. (Mental Health Commission of Canada, 2021)
We can create impactful change by having open conversations, reducing stigma, and normalizing accessing help for mental health. Here are some resources on how to support a loved one with their mental health:
