This Lunch and Learn presentation explores ways to support mental health in everyday interactions. Our mental health is an important part of our overall health and wellness. However, every year, twenty percent of Canadians experience a significant mental health problem. When someone we care about is struggling, we may not know how to offer care and support. In this session, we will discuss general signs of distress, tips for talking with others about mental health, information that we can share with those we love, and ways we can support our own wellness too. Resources for further learning will be shared.
The Mental Health Foundation presents free virtual Lunch and Learn sessions quarterly. Our Lunch & Learn Series is dedicated to fostering an open dialogue on mental health and addictions topics. These free online sessions provide the community with valuable knowledge, resources, and support in a warm, welcoming environment. The Lunch & Learn Series provides evidence-based resources that can help people stay up-to-date on best practices, connect with other like minded individuals, and engage in stimulating discussions.
