SUMMARY:World Mental Health Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:On October 10\, 2023\, people and organizations around the globe will mark World Mental Health Day\, an annual awareness and advocacy campaign initiated by the World Federation for Mental Health (WFMH) in 1992. Each year\, a theme is chosen by WFMH and partner organizations such as the World Health Authority (WHO) which supports the importance of the day by hosting events\, providing resources\, and creating campaign materials for people to engage with and dig deeper into that year’s theme. \nThis year’s theme is ‘Mental Health is a Universal Human Right’. It may seem like a lofty goal\, but at BCACC we believe that change starts at home. Our points of influence as British Columbians may seem to only extend as far as the borders of our province\, but the work we do to remove barriers to access and break the stigma around the need for mental health support extends far beyond our own communities. \nWe hope you’ll join BCACC in raising awareness of World Mental Health Day in your own community. Here’s how you can learn more and participate in World Mental Health Day\, too:\n\nVisit a BCACC-organized illumination event:\n\nIf you’re in Victoria\, visit the Parliament Buildings at the BC Legislature after dusk. The Ceremonial Entrance\, Front (Centre) Fountain\, and Back (Centennial) Fountain of the Parliament Buildings as well as the Confederation Garden Park Fountain and Waterfall will be illuminated in green on October 10th from dusk to 1:00 a.m.\nIf you’re in Vancouver\, visit BC Place\, which will be illuminated in green on October 10th from dusk to 1:00 a.m.\nBe sure to share your illumination photos with us on social media by tagging BCACC and using the hashtag #WMD2023BCACC or send your photos to communications@bcacc.ca.\n\n\n\nLearn more ways to get involved here.
