With the isolation and anxiety that can come with self isolation amid a global pandemic, Canadian Mental Health Week is even more crucial this year.
Local Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) officials say that their challenge to Lethbridge residents this year is to not only speak up for mental health, but to reach out to others and check in, whether by phone, text or video chat, as often as possible. “We partner with Volunteer Lethbridge and a number of other organizations like Lethbridge Family Centre and Lethbridge Family Services, to try and provide as many different services as possible,” David Gabert with CMHA said Tuesday.
