ONE-IN-FIVE CAMPAIGN

One in five people will experience a mental illness every year. Yes, that's roughly 200,000 Nova Scotians! The system to help these people and their loved ones is not working. And currently our government has no strategy to improve things.

Take a moment. Visit www.oneinfive.ca to join the growing number of Nova Scotians calling for a better mental health care system in Nova Scotia.
