CMHA National Mental Health Week – May 5th – 11th 2025

CMHA National Mental Health Week – May 5-11, 2025 

The Canadian Mental Health Association’s (CMHA) 74th Annual National Mental Health Week is taking place, May 5-11 and this year’s theme is, “Unmasking Mental Health.” During the week, CMHA will raise awareness about the significant impact that masking can have on mental health, relationships, and well-being. Living with mental health challenges often forces people to hide behind a “mask” to protect themselves from judgement and discrimination. But the heavier the stigma, the heavier the mask becomes, and the more isolated we feel. 

This  May 5-11, CMHA will encourage people across Canada to look beyond the surface and see the whole person. By embracing honesty and vulnerability, we open the door to deeper connections and the mental health benefits that come with it. In doing so, we can create a ripple effect of courage and understanding across the country.
