National Mental Health Awareness Week: May 1-May 7

Today kicks off Canada’s 72nd annual Mental Health Awareness Week (MHAW), from May 1 to May 7. This year’s theme is #MyStory — an opportunity to share your story to build stronger connections and community and reduce the stigma around mental health while bolstering the support available for mental health across Canada.

For MHAW, the Canadian Mental Health Association is focused on using storytelling as a tool to advocate for the mental health care that we all need. Share your story using the hashtag #MyStory to be a part of the conversation.
