The sooner we recognize the signs and reach out for support, the sooner healing can begin. No struggle is too small to deserve care. 💙

Your mental health doesn't have to be at its worst before it's worthy of attention.

Too often, we tell ourselves to "push through" or convince ourselves that someone else has it worse. But small struggles deserve care too.

Early support can make a difference, and you never have to face what you're going through alone.

Take yourself seriously - because you matter. ❤️

Every step makes a difference. 💙

Canal Pursuit for Mental Health is more than a run - it's a movement to raise awareness of depression, reduce stigma, and support Canadians living with mental illness.

There are so many ways to get involved:
🏃 Join as a runner
💙 Make a donation
🤝 Become a sponsor

Together, we can create meaningful change and remind people they are not alone.

😴 Our sleep matters, especially with depression. Sleep hygiene can be improved with small steps, such as avoiding using electronics before we go to bed. 📵

Setting a buffer zone without screen time before bed lets us avoid reading potentially distressing news or triggering negative thoughts when we want to be at our most relaxed.

Instead, you can try to cultivate a bedtime routine in a safe and comfortable environment. You can read, listen to music, bathe or do whatever it is that makes you feel more calm and relaxed. 💙
