Led by the World Federation of Mental Health, World Mental Health Day is supported by the World Health Organization as an important day to raise awareness and advocate for better care for those with mental health issues worldwide. The theme of this year’s World Mental Health Day is Psychological & mental health first aid for all, in recognition of the fact that mental health training helps provide support to those in distress.

Psychological and emotional distress can happen to anyone anywhere — in our homes, schools, workplace, or in any public space. To learn more about mental health workshops offered by CMHA Ottawa please visit: https://ottawa.cmha.ca/programs-and-services/training/
