Can you believe it’s Easter weekend already? Snow, ice and frigid temperatures are thankfully behind us and the promise of another spring lies before us. With the strife that has engulfed the planet in recent months, we could use all the positivity we can get.
Eerily reminiscent of the early days of the pandemic, the tumultuous period we’re enduring is taking a massive toll on the mental and emotional wellness for millions of people in Canada and the USA. Inflation, international conflict, widespread fears of job loss and the spread of deadly viruses have consumed many to a point where coping is next to impossible.
While we participate in Easter egg hunts, egg colouring games and Easter basket design contests, let’s remember those who are struggling to cope with today’s chaos. So we encourage you to show your sympathy by donating to charities that promote mental and emotional vitality like the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHC), the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) and the Salvation Army.
Above all, we hope that you, your family and friends all enjoy a very Happy Easter!
