Mental Health
Here you can find updated links and information to articles and websites about mental health and the impact it has on everyones life. It is a constant growing discipline under the health studies umbrella and I hope to educate more people on what it is and how we can help those become more accepting of this. These are links providing information on mental health as a whole, the statistics of people effected by mental health, as well ideas that you as an individual can provide support and become apart of the change in how we view mental health in society.
Canadian Mental Health Association
This is a great educational tool and supportive place for anyone who is looking to learn about mental health. This group strives to create a positive environment and world for people to strive to be mentally healthy. I encourage anyone who is struggling or looking for a way to become involved in the mental health industry to visit this resource.
Centre for Addiction and Mental Health
The Centre for Addiction and Mental health is one of the largest teaching hospitals and one of the worlds leading research centre in its field. This link will allow you to discover statistics regarding the saddening numbers of those affected by mental health and become more educated with the stigma surrounding mental health. It is a great tool to do your part and become educated on a growing issue in our world.
Defining Health
This is an intriguing discussion about the current defining principles of what "health" means. The World Health Organization has provided us with a definition of health for many decades and now we are beginning to consider if that is truly what it means to live in good health.
