💚 Mental Health Week 2026 | Day 1 💚

Today marks the beginning of Mental Health Week (May 4–10, 2026).

This year’s theme, Come Together, Canada, reminds us that mental health is shaped through connection, understanding, and community.

Let’s take this week to listen, learn, and support one another.
Stronger connections start with coming together.

✨ Community Partner & Public Meet & Greet ✨

In honour of Mental Health Week, we’re pleased to invite community partners and individuals interested in our services to a Meet & Greet to learn more about our agency and the programs we offer.
📅 Friday, May 8, 2026
🕘 9:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.
This event will feature a structured “speed-round” of our services, where attendees will rotate through our different programs and spend 5 minutes with each team to learn:
What the program does
Who it serves
How it can help and how to connect

⚠️ Please note: This is an informational event only. Services will not be provided during the Meet & Greet, and it is not an open drop-in. Staff will be happy to share information and next steps for accessing supports.

This is a great opportunity to build understanding, ask questions, and make connections in a guided and respectful setting.
