Mental Health Awareness Week
2011

October 2nd - 8th
National Mental Health Awareness Week

Nearly one in five Canadians is affected by mental illness, yet a persistent stigma prevents many from getting the help they need. The continuing theme of Mental Illness Awareness Week - Face Mental Illness- is designed to change that.

The Kelty Patrick Dennehy Foundation will be joining community service organizations in the Sea-to-Sky secondary schools the week of October 2nd, 2011 to promote mental health awareness.

Why Green?
In the 1800s the color green was used to brand people who were labeled "insane". The children's mental health community decided to continue using the color green, but with a completely different focus. Green is now to signify new life, new growth, and new beginnings.

Please wear Green to raise public awareness, better the lives of children and youth with serious emotional disorders and show our support of these children and their families.
