Mental Health Week and Hats On!

Every year the Canadian Mental Health Association dedicates a week in May to raise the awareness of Mental Health. This year Mental Health Week will run May 5-9, and Hats On! for Mental Health Day will take place on May 7. Students are invited to wear a hat to raise awareness of the importance of good mental health. Participating schools will relax their hat rules and encourage students and teachers to build understanding by wearing hats to school. Students will also participate in a coordinated lesson on understanding mental health and the importance of removing the stigma associated with mental illnesses.
