May 5 to 11 is Mental Health Week!
This year’s theme, chosen by the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA), is “Unmasking Mental Health.”
This week, we think about the challenges faced by people living with mental health issues. Many deal with stigma, unfair treatment, and feeling left out. Some people also have a developmental disability along with a mental health condition — this is called a dual diagnosis. These challenges can make it harder to get help, find a job, or ask for support. As a result, some people feel like they have to hide their true selves behind a mask.
We want to change that. Let’s look past the struggles and see the person. Everyone deserves the chance to live a full, happy life with the right support to help them reach their goals.
To learn more about Mental Health Week and to find help in your area, visit the CMHA website. https://cmha.ca/mental-health-week/
