Throughout the province, CMHA’s 31 local branches are getting ready for Mental Health Week (May 5-11, 2014) in different ways. Some are hosting event while others may be offering special programs. The best way to discover what’s going on in your community is by finding and contacting your local branch. Use our branch finder tool to help. CMHA Ontario, which is based in Toronto, is taking a grass roots approach to launching Mental Health Week 2014. Along with colleagues from our Toronto branch, CMHA Ontario staff and volunteers will be out on the morning of Monday, May 5, 2014 in busy areas of downtown Toronto spreading the word about mental health.
If you’re in Toronto, look for us dressed in the t-shirts emblazoned with the words, Mental Health For All, as we hand out treats to passersby.
A special thanks to T-Shirt Printing Toronto for donating the shirts and to Mondelēz Canada Inc. for the cookies. Your support is appreciated.
