Let's #GetLoud about what mental health really is during the 67th
Each May, Canadians in communities, schools, workplaces and the House of Commons rally around CMHA Mental Health Week. CMHA Mental Health Week raises awareness about the importance of mental health.
Mental health is about more than mental illness. One in five Canadians live with mental health problems, mental illnesses or addiction. But the reality is, five in five of us have mental health, just like we all have physical health.
Mental health is about more than being happy all the time. It's about feeling good about who you are, having balance in your life, and managing life's highs and lows. Everyone deserves to feel well, whatever their mental health experience. And we all need a support system to lean on.
