Mental Health Week 2010

Hello everyone! Mental Health week is here and Joel and myself plan on attending a few events next week and would love to see you out!

Lets not forget: A solid foundation for mental health starts with:

Positive relationships at work: Supportive relationships in the workplace are important for good mental health.

Good Neighbors: Look across the road or across the hallway. A simple gesture is all it takes to build support with a neighbor. Welcome new comers to the neighbourhood, say hello.

Ties to your community: Joining community groups, clubs and organizations makes you part of something bigger. You will reap the rewards by feeling connected and having a sense of purpose.

Caring Relationships: When we care for others and others care for us we feel valued.



 Here is the agenda for Mental Health Week starting Monday May 3rd. If you have any questions or would like addittional information please call April at 494 4774 x 226. Also, don't forget to R.S.V.P for our Peer Support Appreciation Dinner on Tuesday! See you soon.
