Media
In our efforts to push for a society that understands and fosters good mental health, we engage with media across all platforms throughout Nova Scotia and beyond to lead public discussions and amplify the conversation about mental health in our province.
As an organization we recognize the important role media plays in public education, awareness. CMHA NS works with the media with the goal of providing accurate, reliable information and context on the subject of mental health.
We are grateful to work with media in Nova Scotia and beyond to tell our story, increase understanding, boost awareness and reduce stigma.
