Mental Illness Awareness Week - engaging the public through social media

CAMH raises awareness about mental health and addictions issues through Facebook and Twitter

Lots of people spend time ‘tweeting’ and ‘friending’ through social networking sites Twitter and Facebook. CAMH joined the conversation this spring to engage the public about mental health and addiction issues through media where they feel most at home.

During Mental Illness Awareness Week (October 4-10) we invite you to increase your awareness of the issues by following CAMH on Twitter http://twitter.com/CamhMediaUpdate and becoming a fan on Facebook  http://www.facebook.com/pages/Toronto-ON/CAMH-Centre-for-Addiction-and-Mental-Health/31568214052?v=wall&viewas=587945869.
