Our Mission
One in five Canadians lives with a mental illness in any given year, but five in five—all of us—have mental health. You have it, I have it. And we all need to take care of it.
I’ve been thinking of different ways I can positively contribute to mental health in the community for a couple years now. With Mental Illness Awareness Week here, I was ready to post my story on social media once again, in the hopes that it would reach others who struggle with mental illness, and encourage them to open up and reach out. These mental health and illness awareness days are days where people share their stories with the same hopes in mind. But what about all the other days?
This is why I’m creating the Behind My Mind campaign.
With this campaign, individuals will be sharing stories of their mental health journeys, not just for one day, but for every day thereafter. Mental health problems can affect anyone, any time, and can look very different in different people. They can alter a person’s thinking, emotional state and behaviour, and interfere with their ability to work and maintain relationships. Destigmatizing mental health problems, both externally and internally, is the first step towards contributing to mental wellness and creating a stronger community.
