Hi! My name is Jing and I am proud to be a part of One Note Away.

 

This past year has certainly been a time of change - the need to adapt to the new “normal” was placed so unexpectedly on all of us. Along with that came with the feeling of confusion and cluelessness of what will happen next. Personally, I have observed a decline in mental health of the people surrounding me and even in myself. It is important to recognize that 1 in 5 Canadians struggle with their mental health in any given year, and that 4,000 Canadians die by suicide every year—almost 11 people per day.

 

Even though the COVID-19 pandemic has made a great impact on mental heatlh, it has also provided an opportunity to normalize the conversation surrounding this topic. Through mental health initiatives such as One Note Away, we can continue building the road to end the stigma surrounding mental health and create better opportunities for those struggling with their mental health.

 

With your support, we can change how the world sees and treats mental illness. We can break down stigma and lead important conversations about suicide prevention. We can give people time to get the help they need; families time to heal; and researchers and clinicians time to make breakthroughs and offer new treatment options. 

 

 

Together, we can give people hope for a better tomorrow. Thank you for your donation!
