www.insideHALTON.com · OAKVILLE BEAVER Friday, April 27, 2012 · 12 Mental Health Awareness Week is May 7-13 Halton Region reminds residents May 7-13 is dedicated to understanding mental health. The Region is hoping to help boost awareness at two community forums. The first will take place in Oakville on Monday, May 7 in the south campus cafeteria of White Oaks Secondary School. It runs from 7-9 p.m. The second forum will be the following evening in the library of Robert Bateman High School in Burlington at the same time. "The Halton Region Health Department, along with many of our community partners, offers high-quality programs to individuals dealing with a mental illness," said Halton Regional Chair Gary Carr, in a press release. The Region's Talking about Addictions and Mental Illness program will try to increase understanding about mental health as public perception is often considered the biggest barrier to families getting the support they need. White Oaks is located at 1330 Montclair Dr. People are asked to register for the event by visiting www. halton.ca/TAMIevent or by calling 905825-6000.
