How do we put an end to #stigma? Language matters! What we say and how we say it can be very powerful, especially surrounding #mentalhealth topics. Check out @CMHACalgary’s #YouthSMART for more info on stomping out stigma: https://t.co/PYeng8dNTK

[CMHA Calgary @CMHACalgary]

What we say and how we say it can be very powerful, especially when it comes to sensitive topics such as mental health, mental illness, and suicide. #StompOutStigma https://t.co/ZGuJAyNRR1

Congrats #yyc students and teachers on completing the school year! @CMHACalgary’s #YouthSMART has missed you, and we can’t wait to see you again soon. Have a safe summer! Stay tuned to https://t.co/QQoJuSIMjb for details on our 2020-2021 #youthmentalhealth learning opportunities!

[Ashley Lamantia @valamant]

It’s #MentalHealthWeek!! Especially now, let’s find ways to authentically share our emotions, rather than just responding with “I’m fine.” Have meaningful conversations, connect with others, and #GetReal about how you feel! #TogetherApart #MHW2020, #CMHAMHW2020

[CMHA Calgary @CMHACalgary]

Every time we just say I’m fine, we miss a chance to connect with others in a
meaningful way. Don’t just get loud - #GetReal. #TogetherApart https://t.co/sYy1mEnqjL #MHW2020 #CMHAMHW2020

With the support of @EverActiveAB, students in #YYC have launched a free, positive message hotline for seniors who are self-isolating. This is another beautiful example of how #youth and #schools can safely connect to, and care for members our local community.

[Ashley Lamantia @valamant]

One of @CMHACalgary’s #SMARTSchoolsYYC @JoanofArc_CCSD coordinated a #socialdistancing teacher vehicle parade near their school. This is a powerful example of how school communities can support each other, and stay safe through these challenging days!
