Mental Health Week 2022 took place from May 2-8. The theme of the week was Empathy, before you weigh in, tune in. Each day was focused on learning about mindfulness, feelings, wellness, thoughtfulness, and fun!
The previous years have taken a collective toll on all of us, so the theme of Empathy is more important than ever. Empathy is about being tuned into our own feelings, as well as the emotions and experiences of others. It is about taking in another person’s perspective and listening without judgment. This week, the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) highlighted the need to Get Real about how to help others.
