Gregor Robertson, Mayor of Vancouver, will be officially proclaiming Mental Health Week in Vancouver today at 2 p.m. in the Council Chambers at City Hall. It's a rainy Vancouver spring day, but we're hoping a great many will come out to show support for mental health awareness!
Mental Health Week is about awareness, not only of issues around mental health, such as stigma and myths, but also awareness of how mental health, just like physical health, affects all people. Mental health is everyday health for everybody.
This year, CMHA's theme for Mental Health Week is "Now, More Than Ever, Invest In Yourself." With all the stressors in our lives, whether they be financial, familial, work or health-related, and so on, it is important to take care of your mental health. It's one of our greatest assets. The CMHA National web-site offers a few tools to see if your life is in balance, and tips to help you mind your mental health. Mental health is also about being proactive, about recognizing problems and seeking health before things become overwhelming.
What about all of you? What do you do for your mental health?
