TYH: Why mental health literacy is more important than ever

PRINCE GEORGE – Mental health discussions are still something that don’t get the attention that they deserve according to Mary Lu Spagrud from the Canadian Mental Health Association.

Spagrud says it’s more important than ever to stay in tune with your own mental health, which can be easily done just by talking about it.

“Lots of times as Canadians we tend to be very in tune with our physical health, and we talk about it, and we talk with other people. But yet when it comes to our mental health we don’t really recognize it, we don’t maybe recognize what’s going on,” says Spagrud.
