The Defeat Depression event is returning to Thompson later this month, bringing the community together in support of mental health.

 

The national campaign encourages people to get active while raising awareness and support for mental health initiatives across Canada.

 

This year’s event takes place Friday, May 29th at the Thompson Regional Community Centre, running from noon until 2.

 

Mental Health Promotions Coordinator with the Northern Health Region, Jennifer Whalen, explains what the event is all about.

 

 

Organizers are encouraging individuals, workplaces, and groups of friends to sign up and take part.
