At Sault Area Hospital, we recognize that everyone deserves good mental health.
World Mental Health Day is an opportunity to raise awareness, reduce stigma, and encourage open conversations about mental well-being. Mental health is just as important as physical health, and it impacts every part of our lives—our relationships, our work, and our ability to thrive.

Today, we honour the strength of those living with mental health challenges, acknowledge the importance of access to care and support, and thank our dedicated teams who provide compassionate mental health services every day.

Together, let us continue to build a culture of understanding, respect, and support—because good mental health is something everyone deserves.
