Isn't it about time?
If you ever feel you're just not yourself, you're in good company: so have most Canadians. We all have days when we don't feel like ourselves, when we feel some of the emotions above. Paying attention to those feelings is part of dealing with your mental health.
Sadly, some people live with those feelings all the time. Imagine having to live with shame, discrimination and lack of treatment and support... It's time for change.
Partners for Mental Health was created to see that change happens. Join us in taking the NOT MYSELF TODAY pledge.
Thanks to Participants and Organizers!
