Alberta’s teachers are concerned about the well-being of children and youth, and understand that to educate children properly, their physical and mental health needs must be met. That’s why the Alberta Teachers’ Association (ATA) and the Alberta Division of the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) are partnering to promote the mental health of children and youth.
The “Healthy Minds, Bright Futures” program aims to increase awareness of the mental health needs of children and to decrease the stigmatization often associated with mental illness.
The Canadian Mental Health Association wants to empower people to live with better mental health and break the stigma of mental illness.
Its plan is to change the face of mental illness. To do this, it needs support in the form of donations. Donations make a significant difference in sustaining core programs, enhancing specialized supports and developing mental health innovations at CMHA.
