Social media is a tool that should enhance your life, not take away from it. It’s okay to take breaks, set boundaries, & prioritize your mental well-being. By being mindful of your social media usage & practicing self-care, you can create a healthier online experience. #LDSBWell

1 in 4 Canadians are impacted by anxiety every year. And while it can be uncomfortable, anxiety is often a helpful emotion. Anxiety Action Day is meant to raise awareness, dispel common myths, and underscore the importance of prioritizing mental health in our society.

PTSD is an anxiety disorder that can occur after a person has experienced or witnessed a traumatic event. On this day, we raise awareness and abandon stigma. PTSD can be treated, so seeking help from a healthcare professional is important. You are not alone.
