#MindVine by Ontario Shores

Let's continue the conversation about mental health.  Breaking the silence and talking about our personal stories of how mental illness has touched us helps eradicate stigma and break down barriers.

#MindVine is a place where we can freely engage in this dialogue. The social media home of Ontario Shores Centre for Mental Health Sciences (Ontario Shores), #MindVine provides opinions, information and updates on issues and activities impacting all aspects of mental health care.

Contributors to #MindVine include Ontario Shores' professionals and experts in mental health care.  People with lived experience, those who have struggled or cared for family members struggling with mental illness, also contribute to #MindVine.

If you have something to say then use the hashtag #MindVine and share with this community.
