Episode Synopsis

Supporting individuals who are dealing with mental health concerns is critically important. According to the Canadian Mental Health Association: • In any given year, 1 in 5 Canadians experiences a mental health or addiction problem. • In any given week, at least 500,000 employed Canadians are unable to work due to mental health problems. • The economic burden of mental illness in Canada is estimated at $51 billion per year. This includes health care costs, lost productivity, and reductions in health-related quality of life. Kim Willis Director, Communications & Mental Health Promotion at Canadian Mental Health Association - Windsor Essex County Branch, joined me this week to discuss mental health resources locally and more.  If you’re dealing with some mental health challenges or know someone who is, and need some assistance please visit https://windsoressex.cmha.ca/ Or call   (519) 255-7440
