Join Indigenous Initiatives and Student Health & Wellness for a relaxing day in the Wiigwasitig Gitigaan 'Birch Tree Garden' and Ambe Tigadaw 'Three Sisters Garden.'

This year’s theme, “Unmasking Mental Health,” encourages us to look beyond the surface and see the whole person. Many people living with mental health or substance use challenges feel pressure to “mask” their true experiences to avoid judgment or stigma. But by embracing honesty and vulnerability, we can build stronger connections and foster greater understanding.
Throughout the week, explore CMHA’s national campaign, resources, and events at mentalhealthweek.ca and check out programming through your local CMHA branch.
On campus, Lakehead is offering a range of opportunities to support our community in unmasking mental health and showing up as our authentic selves:
Let’s work together to break down stigma and create space for real, open conversations about mental health.
Due to poor weather this event has been rescheduled to Thursday May 29th from 12-1:30pm.
