Today marks the beginning of Mental Illness Awareness Week, an opportunity for us all to learn about mental illness, how it affects people, understand what help is available for those who struggle, and actively engage to do what we can do to reduce stigma. This year's Mental Illness Awareness theme is a reminder that we must continue to work together to promote "Awareness, Access and Parity for Mental Health and Substance Use Care in Canada". For our government, this means taking a compassionate approach that puts people first and focusing on providing a continuum of care that includes a range of support services and resources that can help address mental health challenges and substance use.
