On February 12, 2013, let’s talk.

• 1 in 5 Canadians will experience a form of mental illness at some point in their lives.
• 2 in 3 people suffer in silence fearing judgment and rejection.
• Only 49% of Canadians said they would socialize with a friend who has a serious mental illness.
• 27% of Canadians are fearful of being around people who suffer from serious mental illness.
• Mood and anxiety disorders impact an estimated 22% of the Canadian population.
• At any given time, almost 3 million Canadians have serious depression.
• Once depression is recognized, help can make a difference for 80% of people who are affected, allowing them to get back to their regular activities.

Help spread the word to help end the stigma associated with mental illness.
