Mental Health Week – Labrador-Grenfell Health

May 4th – 10th is Mental Health Week. This week brings together communities, school and workplaces to celebrate, protect and promote mental health.

This year’s theme is ‘social connection’ and its importance for mental health, which is especially important during these challenging times.

Labrador-Grenfell Health is asking the public to share photos showing how they take care of their mental health this year to help spread awareness around mental wellness and the importance of staying connected to one another.
