#GETLOUD for CMHA’s 65^th Annual Mental Health Week!

Mental Health Week is May 2-8 and we are challenging YOU to #GETLOUD! This means taking action and using your voice to raise awareness and build support. For someone at work. For someone at home. For yourself.

#GETLOUD to maintain positive mental health. #GETLOUD to get it back. Because the louder we all get, the bigger difference we will make. And there’s a lot of difference to be made.

Don’t forget to show your community how you are getting loud for mental health by using #OKGETLOUD or tagging @CMHAKelowna on Facebook and Twitter.
