May 6 to 12 is Mental Health Week in Québec under the theme: #GetLoud About What Mental Health Really Is.
We can all benefit from celebrating, promoting and recognizing the role that good mental health plays in living a full and meaningful life.
So let’s #GetLoud about what mental health really is: it’s about feeling good about who you are, having balance in your life, and managing life’s highs and lows.
To learn more about this week-long event, visit the Canadian Mental Health Association’s (CMHA) event website at: www.mentalhealthweek.ca
To celebrate this week-long event, we have a couple of activities happening:
- On Wednesday, May 8, we will be visiting the students at Cégep Heritage College and talking to them about good mental health. We will be setting-up our Connexions kiosk in the school agora and sharing tons of resources with the students. We’ll even have some fun games on hand to promote Mental Health Week and to #GetLoud about what mental health is really all about. If you’re at the school, make sure to drop-by our kiosk!
- On Wednesday, May 8, we will be hosting an evening event: Exploring Means Seeing Things Differently: Community Workshop at the Western Québec School Board from 7-9pm. This will be an interactive session where we will be able to share and explore some of the challenges we have faced and discuss some strategies we can use to promote our own well-being. There are limited spots, so please make sure to RSVP at 819-777-3206 or .
As well, make sure to visit our Mental Health Community Resources webpage where we have put together a slew of resources for people of all ages, including our two new tools for youth!
