Last week, CMHA VB staff and volunteers headed to downtown Vancouver to do a little one-on-one mental health promotion. We handed out over 1000 stress-test cards that contain work-life balance tips on the back.
I'll admit, some people wouldn't even look at us as the rushed by and some people politely declined our free information. But more people accepted our cards with a smile. Given that we handed them all out in less than 20 minutes, I'd say they were a big hit. We're hoping that as people take them back to their office they will share them with their co-workers or take them home and share them with family and friends.
Sometimes, it just take a gentle reminder, to encourage people to re-focus on balance, wellness and self-care.
Huge thanks to all our volunteers who made this Mental Health Week event a great success.
