Mental Health Week 2025

MAY 1, 2025—Every year since 1951, the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) has hosted Mental Health Week in the first full week of May. This year, CMHA Mental Health Week will be held from May 5th to 11th.

This year’s theme is “There’s more to me.” As stated on the CMHA Mental Health Week website: “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. But the heavier the stigma, the heavier the mask becomes, and the more isolated we feel.
