This year, CMHA Mental Health Week is being observed May 4-10, 2020. Mental Health Week is a Canadian tradition, with communities, schools and workplaces rallying to celebrate, protect and promote mental health. Connect on social media using the hashtags #GetReal and #MentalHealthWeek.

This year, the theme is ‘social connection’ and its importance for mental health. The campaign this year calls for us to #GetReal about how we really feel. This year’s campaign is based on the insight that people in Canada commonly ask one another how we are but that it is also common not to provide – or expect – a truthful answer.

FNUniv Student Success Services invite you to participate next week in small ways. We will be posting videos offering suggestions and support as well as opening up the conversation about how we are really doing. This is the perfect time to #GetReal as we are all experiencing this together.

Starting Monday, we will post small activities that you can participate in. Please do not feel pressured to participate everyday. Each student who participates, at least once during the week, will be entered to win a prize. Follow our page next week for more details!
