1/5 people in Canada have a mental illness; 5/5 people have mental health (CMHA).
​
Mental health is about balancing the different aspects of our lives, and coping well with stressors such as conflict, difficult emotions, and loss.
It is estimated that 10-20% of Canadian youth experience a mental illness (CMHA).
​
Our work focuses on building capacity in schools and communities to promote positive mental health and prevent the development of mental illness.
