Unmasking Mental Health

The 74^th annual Mental Health Week is here! From May 5-11, CMHA is “Unmasking Mental Health” to break down barriers, challenge stigma and support open conversations. Help us spread the word by using hashtags #UnmaskingMentalHealth and #MentalHealthWeek.

Masking is when we hide or suppress emotions, personality traits, behaviours or symptoms from others. Living with a mental health or substance use challenge is hard enough; masking can make it even harder. Living with mental health challenges often forces people to hide behind a “mask” to protect themselves from judgment and discrimination.
