May is Mental Health Awareness Month, a timely reminder that supporting mental
well-being is essential in both our personal and professional lives. It’s an opportunity to reduce stigma, encourage open conversations and prioritize self-care while also checking in on colleagues, friends and loved ones.
By fostering understanding and compassion, we can help create environments where everyone feels supported and empowered to seek help when they need it. 💚
If you or someone you know needs support, consider talking to your healthcare provider about available mental health resources and services.

Staying active can make a big difference when managing conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes, arthritis and heart disease. Your healthcare professional can help you find the right type and level of activity based on your health history and goals. Every bit of movement counts. 💪
With A Prescription to Get Active (RxTGA), you can access no-cost trial passes to participating gyms and rec centres, group fitness classes, online workouts and community sport programs.
At your next appointment, ask your primary care provider or health team about RxTGA!
