Mental Health Week is an annual designation recognized all across Canada as an opportunity to talk about, reflect on and celebrate the importance of mental health in people’s lives.
The theme of Mental Health For All represents the right of every Canadian to enjoy the best possible mental health.
It is that attitude that encourages people to actively promote their well-being and find ways to support their mental health at home, at work and in their community.
