May 2 – 8, 2022: Mental Health Week
Each year, Canadian Mental Health Association focuses on providing mental health awareness and opportunities for connection during Mental Health Week.
This year, from May 2 – 8, 2022, we are focusing on empathy. When someone is struggling, you don’t have to fix their pain. Tune in and see through their eyes. This is empathy.
Mental Health Week 2022: Information & Resources
CMHA Mental Health Week offers practical advice, articles and information to help you #GetReal about how you really feel. To align with this year’s theme, CMHA National has provided articles that showcase the importance of understanding and learning how empathy can greatly impact our mental health and well-being.
