Students can set the stage for youth mental health.
Andrea Paquette of the Stigma-Free Mental Health Society has seen it time and again: a stigma-free environment is something students can build themselves in their hearts, their schools, and with their peers.
Episode 7 of Hay Are We Okay? is proof.

"Sometimes if we don't have the words, we can't form the thought."
If we don't have the language to say what's in our hearts, it never comes out. It has no way of showing up in the world and making change.
That's why the Stigma-Free Mental Health Society built a mental health glossary into their Student Mental Health Toolkit, giving young people the vocabulary they need to name what's happening, increase confidence and talk about mental health with others.
Words create power, and power creates change.

People struggling with #mooddisorders identify stigma as their number one concern. Fear of judgment can prevent people from getting help or interfere with their recovery.👉 Learn how you can join the fight against stigma: mdsc.ca/stigma/elephant-in-t…

Changing the narrative on suicide requires systemic change. It's about shifting from a culture of silence and stigma to one of openness, understanding, and support. It's time to break down the barriers around these difficult conversations. By opening up, we can help others feel heard, understood, and supported. Together, we can make a real difference in addressing mental health and saving lives.

When we intentionally place our focus in a #mindfulness practice we induce a unique state of brain activation. With repetition, this state can become an enduring trait resulting in long-term changes in brain function & structure. mdsc.ca/mindfulness/

If somebody in your family lives with a mental illness, it does not automatically mean you will experience one too.

Identity is something everyone has. It’s made up of all the things that make you, you! A zine (like a mini magazine) is one creative way that people can explore their identity on their own. Tap the link to explore how you can create your own zine:
