On World Mental Health Day 2023

This week, Caitlin Plant, Program Manager at Distress and Crisis Ontario, talks about World Mental Health Day, which occurs on October 10th. She explores the World Health Organization’s “World mental health report” and discusses the theme for World Mental Health Day 2023, “Mental Health is a Universal Human Right”.
