Black Mental Health Week – Canada
March 4 - March 10
Black Mental Health Week
It’s time to confront the mental health effects of racism against Black Canadians.
Why:
It’s overdue. After generations of anti-Black racism, it’s still a year-round problem for Black Torontonians. An annual day to confront its effects on mental health in Black communities is only a first step. The first Monday in March, every year after.
This year’s theme, ‘Growth and Reflection,’ ties in with the final year of the UN’s International Decade for People of African Descent. Black Mental Health Week is the perfect opportunity to raise our voices and bring awareness to the effects of systemic, anti-Black racism on mental health and wellness.
