Heard about our new Elementary Mental Health Literacy Resource (EMHLR), but not sure how to get started? We’ve got a tool for that. Check out our Quick Links Roadmap for #educators and implementers. Start exploring today: https://t.co/39E1Fuwx77 #edchat #scchat #mentalhealth

The UCP has ignored healthcare needs in Red Deer for years.

Now, frontline staff have been forced to use tarps held up by duct tape to create necessary emergency room space in the city.

The two Red Deer UCP MLAs? They don't seem to care.

I do. The Alberta NDP does.

We will continue to demand proper public healthcare in Red Deer and right across Alberta.

Mental illnesses aren’t due to a lack of willpower or motivation; they are disorders of #brain function, which require #evidencebased treatments from trained professionals. Let’s #stopthestigma and #support each other! #MentalHealthMonday #MythVsFact

Research shows that regular physical activity is essential for mental health! Active affirmations are a great way to get yourself moving and remind yourself of just how important movement is. 🚶‍♂️👩‍🦽
How do you incorporate affirmations into your physical activity routine?

[MentalHealthLiteracy.org @mh_literacy]

When we integrate #evidencebased #mentalhealthliteracy programming into regular school curricula, we reduce the stigma surrounding mental illnesses & treatments. When stigma is reduced, youth are more likely to reach out for help when they need it. #edchat #MentalHealthMonday

Not sure if you’ve heard… with the help of #mentalhealth & #education experts, we recently created an Elementary #MentalHealthLiteracy Resource! Pretty great right? Well, maybe. We’ve gotta #research it for effectiveness to be sure. #evidencebased
