Come Together,
Canada

Stronger connections.
Better mental health.

Social connection is essential to overall health and well-being. But too many people are feeling alone. In Canada, millions of people say they feel lonely often or always.

This May 4-10, CMHA is inviting people across Canada to Come Together. It’s a call to spark small, everyday actions of connection, and to recognize the role we all play in supporting mental health through connection.

Together, we can strengthen mental health, build healthier communities, and help more people feel connected.

Because connection strengthens mental health.

We live in an age of constant digital connection. But as we spend more time online, we’re asking what does it mean for our mental health?   

Coming together for Mental Health Week

Seeing someone face to face, sharing space, and picking up on non-verbal cues all contribute to a deep sense of connection. 

Are screens getting the best of us?

Canadians are more digitally connected than ever, and while technology can help us interact, it can’t replace face-to-face connection, which is essential for our mental health.
