What is the purpose of the week?

 

The week seeks: to increase awareness about the mental health and addiction issues affecting Bow Valley residents, to increase awareness of the mental health and addiction services available to residents, to create a systems level response to the mental health and addiction challenges in our community through a collaborative and coordinated approach, and to break down the social barrier of mental health stigma through community initiatives and conversations.
