Mental health is everyone’s business.
We all know someone who struggles with mental illness. Our hope, through Breanna MacLeod’s Legacy of Hope Fund, is to raise awareness and reduce the stigma surrounding mental illness and suicide. Help us move toward a future in which mental illness and suicide don’t take any more lives.
Mental Illness
Mental illness and/or addiction problems impacts 1 in 5 Canadians each year (Centre for Addictions and Mental Health). We all know someone who is impacted by mental illness. What we want people to know is that someone you know may be suffering in silence. Someone you know may be struggling but be hiding it very well. Check in with your family, friends, and coworkers - ask them how they are doing and truly listen. For more stats on mental illness click here.
Suicide Prevention
An average of 11 Canadians die each day die by suicide.
