Mental health matters and so do the people in your life who are struggling with it. This May, as we observe Global Mental Health Awareness Month, we're breaking the silence, dismantling myths, and empowering you to recognize and support those who need it most. This month's edition features practical guidance on lifting stigma, separating fact from fiction, spotting the signs of mental health challenges and finding strength through community. Because mental wellbeing matters for all of us.
Helping your loved one lift the stigma of mental illness
Psychological challenges ripple beyond the individual, affecting family, friends and colleagues. A diagnosis can trigger shame and isolation when support is needed most.
One in five Canadians experience mental illness each year, yet myths and stigma persist. Learn the facts and help break down barriers to understanding and support.
Mental health is something we all share. Whether in our workplaces, schools, or communities, we're stronger when we connect with compassion, have open conversations, and support one another. This Mental Health Week (May 4–10), join us as we celebrate the courage it takes to reach out. Because seeking support isn't weakness, it's a sign of strength. We've curated helpful resources to support your mental wellness journey. Get started below.
