I have just finished a 6-month stint working for the Canadian Mental Health Association and was inspired by the incredibly dedicated people who devote their careers to making a difference.
Collectively we need to know more about these issues because they will affect one in four people this year.

Consider this post to be just a very brief beginning of that journey.
