Living with a mental health or substance use challenge is hard enough; masking can make it even harder.
Living with mental health challenges often forces people to hide behind a “mask” to protect themselves from judgment and discrimination. But the heavier the stigma, the heavier the mask becomes, and the more isolated we feel.
This May 5-11, we’re encouraging people across Canada to look beyond the surface and see the whole person.
By embracing honesty and vulnerability, we open the door to deeper connections and the mental health benefits that come with it. In doing so, we can create a ripple effect of courage and understanding across the country. Let’s break down barriers, challenge stigma and support open conversations.
