A Mental Health Morning
Thank you to everyone who joined us for A Mental Health Morning – presented by ArcelorMittal Dofasco. With thanks to the support of our guests, sponsors and speakers, this year's event raised over $50,000 for mental health and addictions care at St. Joseph's Healthcare Hamilton.
Taking place during Mental Illness Awareness Week, this year’s keynote address featured celebrated Canadian comedian and author, Jessica Holmes. Guests were captivated by Jessica as she shared her candid story of grappling with depression after the birth of her second child and how she used her love of laughter, as well as therapy, journaling, physical activity and the unconditional love of her rescue dog, Ellie, on her road to recovery and well-being.
