1 in 5 Canadians will suffer from mental illness at some point in their lifetime, and the stigma that’s so often associated with mental illness can be a significant hurdle for anyone seeking the help they need. In fact, it is the number one reason why two-thirds of those living with a mental illness do not seek help. This Bell Let’s Talk Day, we at UTP Journals are joining the conversation to help end the stigma by sharing a select collection of informative articles discussing mental health from various perspectives, all of which are available to read for FREE today!
