Proactively identifying people at risk next stage in mental-health awareness
In the coming five years, Canadians can expect to see the next stage of awareness around mental health, according one health expert.
“Where we need to build on awareness is what the illness actually looks like. There’s still quite a lack of knowledge out there and I believe that’s improving greatly every day,” said Chris Anderson, president of Medaca Health Group, speaking at a Medavie Blue Cross event on Wednesday.
