Spring Campaign Kicks Off During Mental Health Week | CASA on Global News Morning

How can we ensure that Alberta kids and youth struggling with mental illness have access to a mental health plan and system of care?

CASA CEO Bonnie Blakley speaks about why Mental Health Week (May 6-12) is an important time to ask questions like this and reconsider how we think about mental health care. Contributions to CASA’s spring campaign — which kicks off during Mental Health Week — support child-centred and family-inclusive care in Alberta.

Watch CASA on Global News Morning Edmonton at 7:20 a.m. on the first Thursday of every month. Each “Your Mental Health” segment features a specialist from CASA talking about relevant mental health topics to children and families in our community.
