Today kicks off Mental Health Week. Let’s #GETLOUD for mental health and make a conscious effort to learn, talk, reflect and engage with others. Together we can work to reduce the stigma surrounding mental health and provide support to those who need it. For people who suffer from mental illness the simplest tasks can feel like hurdles.
From day one I have said that mental health awareness needed to be a priority in our office. That’s why we have hosted a series of mental health town halls, in hopes of creating a safe space for members of our community to come together and discuss their experiences with mental health.
1 in 5 of us will be affected by Mental Illness at some point in time, directly or through a family member, friend or colleague. So this week we are turning up the volume and encouraging everyone in Dartmouth Cole Harbour to join the #GETLOUD movement and share your ideas on mental health.
