I just wanted to send a little thank you to the UBC folks on campus who are taking part in the Miles for Mental Health Run that is a fundraiser for the Canadian Mental Health Association (Simon Fraser Branch). Miles for Mental Health Run is a run against mental health stigma and meant to raise awareness for mental health. It’s on May 7 in Queen’s Park in New West.
Interested in supporting the UBC team? Check out their Facebook page or contact Rachelle Kahwaji (creator of the UBC team) at sf.schools@cmha.bc.ca.
On other mental health news, Mental Health Week is coming up soon! It runs from May 1-7 and there’s a ton of events going on (including the Mental Health Run that I mentioned above). Consider downloading a free toolkit on the Mental Health Week website and putting up a display at your office, community centre etc, and be an advocate for mental health literacy!
