π As we wrap up #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek, we're reflecting on our impact:
π 163,000 annual visits
π 11,000 clients supported
π§ 34% of services support mental health
π One of Ontario's largest service agencies
Behind every number is a person, family, and story.
Today is #WorldMentalHealthDay. Mental health deserves more than one conversation a year. We're committed to creating spaces where people feel supported, heard, & empowered to reach out when they need itπ #Lumenus#MentalHealth
A simple conversation can make a differenceπ¬ This #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek, check in with someone you care about. A quick conversation can remind people they're not alone and encourage them to seek support when needed.π Learn more: https://t.co/4HLO3qUAxJ
π #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek We're challenging common mental health myths and encouraging open conversations.
Myth: You need to know exactly what support you need before reaching out.
Fact: You don't need all the answers to start the conversation.
π #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek This week, we're breaking down myths that can create stigma and barriers to support.
Myth: You can always tell when someone is struggling.
Fact: Mental health challenges aren't always visible.
As a proud sponsor of #WAIMH2026, Lumenus highlighted its partnership with McMaster University through a presentation by Genevieve Martins and Dr. Andrea Gonzalez on adapting evidence-supported interventions for urban communities and families.
π Small habits can make a big difference. This #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek, take a few minutes to journal, move your body, breathe mindfully, or unplug from your screen. Start small. Every step counts.
Thank you, Minister Michelle Cooper, for visiting Lumenus and connecting with our Youth Wellness Hubs Ontario partners. Together, we can strengthen supports and improve outcomes for young people and families across Ontario. #Lumenus#YWHO
