May 6th to 10th is the Canadian Mental Health Association’s (CMHA) Mental Health Awareness Week! In light of this, CMHA is asking Canadians to #GetLoud about what mental health really is. They remind us on their website linked here (link) that:

Mental health is a state of well-being, and we all have it. We might have a mental illness, and we might not. Either way, we can all feel well. We can all have good mental health. […] But it’s not just about what you do for yourself, by yourself – everyone needs healthy and supportive places to work, live and learn.

As many as 1 in 5 Canadians are battling mental health related issues or mental illness, and it’s important to check in on your mental health. For a checklist to help you check in on your own mental health and further resources click here (link).
