Monday marks the start of the CMHA’s 66th annual Mental Health Week.

Samantha Comeau, from the CMHA here in Thompson, spoke to Arctic Radio News and said that this year mental health week will focus not only on breaking down the stigma associated with mental illness, but also on the fact that everyone has mental health, whether it’s good or bad.

The week will kick off Monday with a birthday bash and barbecue at the CMHA office on Fox Bay from 12:00pm until 2:00pm.
