priority-mental-health This is Canadian Mental Health Week and there are events across the country, including here in North Bay and the Nipissing region.

Executive Director George Kristolaitis says their slogan this year is “Now Get Loud for Mental Health.”

Kristolaitis says it’s important to bring this issue out to the public.

Kristolaitis says, the more it’s out in the light and in the public, the better the chance of recovering.

He says Mental Health Issues are fairly common so they urge people to seek help if it’s needed. He says you can visit the CMHC website, or call them for a full list of activities.
