Barbecue supports

mental health

awareness

As part of Mental Health Awareness Week the Canadian Mental Health Association Cariboo Chilcotin Branch will host a barbecue on Monday, May 1 at 51 Fourth Avenue South in front of the CMHA office from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The barbecue will be by donation with all proceeds going to the Mental Health Advisory Committee to assist in events promoting Mental Health Awareness throughout the year.

Mental Health Awareness Week is held to promote positive mental health and address the stigma surrounding mental health problems and mental illnesses, says Janice Breck, local crisis and counselling program manager.

This year, she says CMHA is adding to its Get Loud for Mental Health theme by focusing the campaign on the long wait times Canadians experience when seeking and accessing mental health care.

“Please stop by and show your support and Get Loud for Mental Health, encourages Janice Breck, crisis and counselling program manager.

During Mental Health Awareness Week CMHA is also encouraging Canadians to reflect on their own attitudes and to take action for increased mental health.
