May 7th is about building caring connections between young people and the caring adults in their lives.  We know having caring, connected conversations can have a big impact on the mental health of children and youth.   As Founders of National Child & Youth Mental Health day in 2007, FamilySmart has been leading May 7th and creating opportunities for home, schools, communities and organizations to connect around our “I care about you” message. 

At the Princeton Skills Centre, we see firsthand the impact of  peoples ability to manage their Mental Health in the workplace.  We know that the more we do to end stigma and shame, the better off we will be in promoting health and wellness, truth and vulnerability in ourselves, families & friends.  Our workplaces and communities will be brighter, more inclusive and resilient.
