Mental Health Week is coming up May 4th to 10th, and the Canadian Mental Health Association in Thompson has a number of events planned.

 

That includes a kickoff barbecue, presentations, cultural teachings, and opportunities for people to connect throughout the week.

 

Canadian Mental Health Association Education and Training Coordinator Iris Chan says this year’s Mental Health Week is focused on connection.

 

 

The week is part of a national effort to raise awareness around mental health, with local events aimed at bringing people together here in Thompson.
