Despite being an important component of our overall wellbeing, mental health is frequently disregarded or stigmatised. Every year, Mental Health Week is observed in Canada to increase understanding of and emphasise the value of mental health. The Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) is in charge of planning this week-long celebration, which strives to reduce stigma, increase public awareness, and promote positive mental health.

The theme of Mental Health Week 2023 is “Recover Together”. It is to emphasises the value of helping one another through our respective mental health journeys and the fact that rehabilitation requires teamwork. The importance of this year’s subject is highlighted by the fact that Canadians are still dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic’s issues.
