The Lambton Mental Wellness Centre is holding a Family Day Awareness about Mental Health and Wellness. We are planning on having the movie Inside/Out playing, a guest speaker panel and family fun for children of all ages.
We are planning on having the Painted Cat there for face painting, someone who does balloon creations, a kids' yoga class or a laughter yoga presentation. We will also have other community agencies at this event to help promote the services they offer in our community as well. The focus is on fun but with the underlying message being about mental health, increasing awareness, and signs of mental health concerns. Our ultimate goal is to decrease the stigma attached to mental health and about people who live with mental health concerns. We are doing this on Family Day, February 2016 to try to allow as many families as we can to attend this fun FREE event.
