Community Mental Health Promotion

Community Mental Health Promotion

Participation in a variety of community displays, organizing events and attending corporate wellness days provide opportunities to promote mental health and wellness to the community. Participation on numerous community initiatives such as Halton Suicide Prevention Coalition, Halton Mental Health Promotions Committee, Special Education Advisory Committee of Halton District School Board and the Milton Hub provide opportunities to collaborate with other agencies around mental health initiatives.

The Mental Health Education/Promotion Program organizes special events, awareness building activities and engages the media during Mental Illness Awareness Week (Fall) and Mental Health Week (Spring) to raise the level of awareness in the community about the issue of mental health and wellness.
