Canadians can take a free, anonymous depression screening test online during Mental Illness Awareness Week. Calgary Counselling Centre, with help from partners like Bell Let’s Talk, will offer the short online test as a way to elevate awareness of depression and encourage those who are struggling to seek help.
As a recipient of a 2018 Bell Let’s Talk Community Fund grant, the Yukon-based BYTE: Empowering Youth has expanded their suicide awareness initiative to youth in 7 communities in Yukon and the Northwest Territories.
This week through October 12, Canadians from coast to coast to coast are taking part in Mental Illness Awareness Week (MIAW). MIAW is an annual national public education campaign by the Canadian Alliance on Mental Illness and Mental Health (CAMIMH) designed to help open the eyes of Canadians to the reality of mental illness.
