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. 

 

What does an ambassador do?

​Ambassadors share their own lived mental health experience to inform the community about the diversity of mental health and addiction illnesses, to help reduce the stigma, and to inspire recovery and hope.

 

Share Your Story - Ambassadors may be asked to share their stories and experience in a variety of ways, including written or video form, website and social media channels, public speaking, media interviews, or through podcasts.

 

Be an Advocate - Ambassadors may be asked to share their personal healthcare journey and experiences to support improvements to the local healthcare services.

 

Promote Mental Health and Addiction Awareness – Ambassadors may be asked to attend and support programs and activities to assist programmers, attendees and help increase awareness of the mental health and addiction.

 

Provide Feedback and Information - Ambassadors are asked to help us obtain feedback and be a stronger influencer on important issues affecting the wellbeing of our community and its residents.
