Mental Health Week May 5-9, 2025

Mental Health Week 2025 Theme: Unmasking Mental Health

Living with a mental health or substance use challenge is hard enough; masking can make it even harder. Living with mental health challenges often forces people to hide behind a “mask” to protect themselves from judgement and discrimination. But the heavier the stigma, the heavier the mask becomes, and the more isolated we feel.

This May 5-11, we will encourage people across Branford-Brant, Haldimand-Norfolk, Six Nations and Mississaugas of the Credit to look beyond the surface and see the whole person. By embracing honesty and vulnerability, we open the door to deeper connections and the mental health benefits that come with it. In doing so, we can create a ripple effect of courage and understanding.

Below are graphics of some of the mental health week events in our community. Stay up-to-date by following the Brant, Haldimand and Norfolk Mental Health Week Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/BHNMentalHealthWeek/
