The Thompson branch of the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) organized a free barbecue lunch outside their office on May 10 to cap off this year’s mental health awareness week.
Throughout May 6-10, CMHA hosted a variety of events in the community to try and pitch their services and engage with local residents about issues related to mental health.
Outside of Friday’s barbecue, the group also spread their message through distributing cupcakes (Monday), making tie dye t-shirts (Tuesday), hosting a workshop on living with schizophrenia (Wednesday) and putting together a friendly game of dodgeball at the Thompson Regional Community Centre (Thursday).
