What an Incredible Day at the “Mental Health is More Than You Can Imagine” Workshop!

Today, we gathered an inspiring group of community leaders and changemakers at @hollandcollege to explore how upstream action can transform the well-being of our communities.

Here are some of the highlights from this dynamic day:

🌟 Collaborative Energy: Participants shared their ideas, insights, and stories about how we can create healthier, more equitable communities across PEI.

🌟 Engaging Workshop Sessions: The morning session brought the concept of “upstream” to life, with interactive activities helping us all see the powerful role policies play in mental well-being.

🌟 Building Capacity: In the afternoon, attendees dove into practical tools and strategies to spread the word and inspire others to take action.

🌟 Networking Lunch: Connections were made, ideas were shared, and the energy in the room was palpable as we all came together for a shared purpose.

A big thank you to the PEI Alliance for Mental Well-Being and the National Collaborating Centre for the Determinants of Health for supporting this important initiative. Your efforts are helping us build momentum for transformational change that benefits everyone in our communities.

Together, we are spreading the message: All policies impact mental health, and upstream investments create healthier futures for all.

Stay tuned for more stories, updates, and ways to get involved in this critical work! 💙
