This Mental Health Week, CMHA is inviting you to connect with your community and yourself! Together, we can strengthen belonging, reduce isolation, and support well-being, because connection strengthens mental health.
Social connection is essential to overall health and well-being. But too many people are feeling alone. In Canada, millions of people say they feel lonely often or always.
This May 4-10, CMHA is inviting people across Canada to Come Together. It’s a call to spark small, everyday actions of connection, and to recognize the role we all play in supporting mental health through connection.
Together, we can strengthen mental health, build healthier communities, and help more people feel connected.

While we can use AI to help us manage our personal and work lives more efficiently, AI can also provide incorrect or misleading information (even going so far as to make it up at times). And because AI is built on human information, it also comes with bias and perpetuates existing discrimination and stigma.
