Every year CMHA dedicates a week in May to raise awareness of Mental Health. This year Mental Health Week will run May 6-10, and Hats On! for Mental Health Day will take place on May 8. Albertans are invited to wear a hat to raise awareness of the importance of good mental health. We encourage students and teachers to participate in this day and build understanding by wearing hats to school. Students will also participate in lessons on understanding mental health and the importance of removing the stigma associated with mental illnesses.
