Five Recovery Stories in Five Days
National Mental Health Week - May 4-10 |
#5in5 - Five Recovery Stories in Five Days by Ontario Shores
I don't have to see sales figures or social media analytics to be confident in saying our Hope for Mental Health campaign has been a success.
Every day I see patients, staff and visitors in our hospital wearing Hope T-shirts, which were inspired by our patients and families, to symbolize the importance of hope in recovery.
On Thursday, May 7, we will launch our Hope Song and video, which again was driven by conservations with patients, families and staff. Both the song and video are powerful. I am excited for both to be shared publicly as I am confident people will love them.
These projects have given people living with mental illness a voice and that alone makes them successful in my mind.
Next week we have another exciting new initiative taking place in recognition of National Mental Health Week May 4-10 that also provides patients and families with a voice.
