The stigma of mental illness continues to be one of the biggest barriers to seeking help. To break down these walls, the World Health Organization (WHO) is organizing an awareness campaign: World Mental Health Day on Oct. 10, 2022. This falls on the same weekend as Thanksgiving, but we feel it is important to recognize it nonetheless. Standing Stones Counselling would like to recognize this initiative and partner with local organizations and businesses to join the WHO in “envisioning a world in which mental health is valued, promoted, and protected”
