About this service
While it is known that 1 in 5 youth have a mental illness, the reality is that 2 in 3 are not getting the help that they need. Why is this? Due to the stigma that surrounds mental illness, people, particularly youth, often do not want to admit that something is wrong. Furthermore, many people dont realize that what they are experiencing is a mental health issue because mental illness is not often talked about. This means that many people do not reach out for help and instead, suffer in silence.
Today, MDAO continues to assist by providing presentations and community information booths on mental health to students, as well as teachers and parents. We also continue to train new schools to start Stop the Stigma programs in and outside of the GTA.
