Call the YWCA Peterborough-Halliburton office, or the number at the end of this article for more information.

The fight to end the stigma of mental health is a global one - as the Royal Family reminds us in their video - when we put our heads together, we can achieve it!

I have always loved writing and yes, find it to be very therapeutic. What would it be like for you to write out your deepest feelings? How would it change your day if you could let that out?
