Mental Health Week

Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) Mental Health Week is May 4 to 10. The theme of this year’s annual campaign is “Come Together” to foster social connection, strengthen mental health and build community. Connecting with others is crucial for reducing loneliness and improving emotional well-being.

Organizations across the country participate in this national conversation which aims to encourage open dialogue, encourage connection, and highlights the importance of seeking help and supporting others.

Durham College (DC) acknowledges Mental Health Week as it aligns with our commitment to fostering a caring and inclusive community as we work to create a supportive environment where everyone feels empowered to prioritize their mental well-being.

This year, the Campus Health and Wellness Centre (CHWC) is planning to promote positive mental health and increase access to services with an event in the Pit on Wednesday, May 6.
