<p class="MsoNormal">Please join us in counting down! There are only <span style="background:yellow;mso-highlight:yellow">
13 days</span> left before the start of <span style="background:yellow;mso-highlight:yellow">
Mental Health Week, May 2-8</span>. There’s no missing it this year, because Canadians are GETTING LOUD for Mental Health. We are raising our voices to build awareness and support – for someone at work; for someone at home; for ourselves. And we are going to
be heard from coast to coast to coast! <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">What does it mean to GET LOUD for Mental Health? Think of “getting loud” as one big public address system – a giant loud speaker – calling out to end discrimination and stigma and shame.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We will be keeping track – in real time – of how Canadians from province to province are raising their voices. During Mental Health Week,
<a href="http://www.mentalhealthweek.cmha.ca/">visit our website</a> and tell us how you are GETTING LOUD<span style="background:yellow;mso-highlight:yellow">. You could win one of 3 iPads.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We’ve also packaged up some great GET LOUD ideas in our <a href="https://mentalhealthweek.cmha.ca/files/2016/04/PublicToolkit-1.pdf">
GET LOUD TOOLKIT</a>. Unpacking it is easy. Click to download the information. Upload the images. Share it with your friends, both online and off. Check it out at
<a href="http://www.mentalhealthweek.cmha.ca">mentalhealthweek.ca</a>.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This is our 65<sup>th</sup> annual Mental Health Week! And it will be the loudest one yet. There are Mental Health Week events and activities in hundreds of communities across Canada. Visit our
<a href="http://www.mentalhealthweek.cmha.ca/">Mental Health Week website </a> to find out what is going on in yours. At CMHA, we’re proud to be the organization that started this tradition. And we’re proud that Canadians have embraced it.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Even if we don’t struggle with our own mental health, we all know – and often, love – someone who’s affected. Let’s make sure that people stop feeling shame due to mental illness. Let’s make sure they don’t think twice about getting the
support and help they need.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It’s time for all of us to GET LOUD. <a href="http://www.mentalhealthweek.cmha.ca">
Mental Health Week</a>. May 2-8. It’s right around the corner.<o:p></o:p></p>
