Why Focus on Mental Wellness?

Mental health issues affect people of all ages, education, income levels, religions and cultures.
1 in 5 Canadians will experience some problem with their mental health over a one-year period.
1 in 3 Canadians will experience a mental health issue in their lifetime, and many of these problems begin in adolescence and early adulthood.
It is estimated that at least 15% of children and youth are affected by mental wellness issues at any one time.
Many people do not reach out for help, so people in need of assistance is likely higher than expected.
