Mental health awareness
In observance of Mental Health Awareness Month in May, Northwestern Community Services Board’s Prevention and Wellness Services is conducting its third annual “Let’s Chalk About Mental Health” campaign.
This interactive initiative is designed to educate the community about the diverse aspects of mental health and how to reduce the stigma around seeking help when needed. Launched on May 1, “Let’s Chalk About Mental Health” will cover why relationships matter, how and when to reach out when you or a friend may be experiencing a mental health crisis, how to be there with active listening tips and tools, and how, together, we can find resources for self-help and professional help.
The Prevention and Wellness team will share resources, facilitate discussions, and offer tips to start the conversation at home. Community members can access content through their social media accounts @LordFairfaxYRA on all major platforms. To join the discussion, individuals and organizations can share pictures, videos or posts using the hashtag #NWChalksAboutMH. Find more information at https://tinyurl.com/2tvjxf2n.
