May 4 - 10, 2020 is Mental Health Awareness Week and it aims to get people talking about their mental health and reduce the stigma that can stop people from asking for help.  

The Canadian Mental Heath Association has created resources including a  toolkit , practical advice, articles and  information  to help individuals #GetReal about how they really feel.

The Kensington and Area Chamber of Commerce is encouraging employers and managers of all our member businesses to reach out, check in and communicate with your team members individually and ensure they are both physically and mentally healthy during this unprecedented time.
