#UnmaskingMental Health

Don’t forget! Mental Health Week is coming May 5 to 11 and this year we’re #UnmaskingMentalHealth.

Living with a mental health or substance use challenge is hard enough; masking can make it even harder. Living with mental health challenges often forces people to hide behind a “mask” to protect themselves from judgment and discrimination. But the heavier the stigma, the heavier the mask becomes, and the more isolated we feel.

We invite you to be part of the mental health activities and join in We invite you to be part of the mental health activities and join in with healthy and brave conversations.

In recognition of Mental Health Week, the Suicide Prevention Community Council of Hamilton is hosting a community wellness session.

Today, many of us are facing challenging circumstances and uncertainty, not only in our personal lives, but in our global community as well.

How do we better navigate the edgy thoughts and emotions that often accompany these experiences?

Drawing on wisdom from various disciplines, including Positive Psychology, we will explore a variety of topics including mindfulness, self-compassion, and talking back to our mind chatter.

Please join us for this interactive and experiential session where you will both learn and practice these strategies and build your resiliency toolbox.
