This year, January 24—January 28 is Mental Health Week at MacEwan. Mental Health Week is about building community, raising awareness about mental health issues, and supporting students, faculty and staff who are seeking help or want to be helpful. As part of Mental Health Week, we put together this collection of digital resources about mental health.
