In support of #MentalHealthWeek, we are so excited to see the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health's new campaign #MentalHealthisHealth . There are still so many that suffer in silence and with stigma. Let's remember that 1 in 2 Canadian adults will be affected or know someone who is over the course of their lifetime. Mental health affects children, youth, adults and the elderly indiscriminately. For those who cannot find their voices, let's join together and let them know we support them.

Wishing everyone an enjoyable long weekend spent doing what you love most with those you love best. Happy Easter.

January 31st marks Bell's Let's Talk Day to raise awareness about Canada's mental health. 1 in 5 Canadians will personally experience a mental health related illness during their lifetime and all of us know someone intimately, whether it be a friend or family member, who have suffered. As a society, we all need to be more mindful that mental health, like diabetes, is not something one can "snap out of" or cure with "positive thoughts". What we can do is reduce the stigma that still surrounds mental health by supporting the resiliency and perseverance of those affected with our time and support. Whether you are holding a hand or the one in need of a hand to hold, let us bring our shared stories out into the open where we can shed light on the darkness of mental illness. #bellletstalk

Guelph's most centrally located and economically accessible medical centre.
