We invite you to come and #GET LOUD for mental health at our Kick Off Breakfast. We are celebrating our 65th Annual Mental Health Week from May 2-8th.

At the breakfast our Guest Speaker Shelagh Rogers will share her story. You might catch Shelagh Rogers on the radio. She’s been around for a long time at the CBC. Almost 40 years. Most of that time, she’s sounded upbeat, energetic, cheerful. But sometimes she wasn’t that way.

Sometimes, she was empty, full of nothing, lethargic. Then she learned to disguise it by being extra-cheerful, energetic and upbeat. Until she couldn’t do that anymore. And then, you didn’t hear her at all. She had a five-month breakdown and lost her voice.

Shelagh has recovered her mental health. It took some work. And she’s doing all she can to keep that recovery strong. She really believes in recovery. So she is using her voice to Get Loud for Mental Health.

A hot Malaspina Breakfast Buffet will be served. Tickets are $25.00 and available at www.mid-island.cmha.bc.ca or by calling Gwen at 250.244.4042 ext.207 For more information call Gwen at 250.244.4042 ext.207
