For the second year in a row, Bruce Power and a number of partners from Bruce, Grey and Huron counties are encouraging the community to "Break the Silence."
It's part of Mental Health Awareness Week.
Bruce Power is encouraging people to use the hashtag #BreakTheSilence on Twitter or share the Break the Silence post on the Bruce Power Facebook page.
On Wednesday, for every use of the hashtag on Twitter and share of the Break the Silence post on Bruce Power’s Facebook page, the company will donate $1 to local mental health initiatives.
Bruce Power’s Employee Wellness organization will also be holding a series of on-site events during Mental Health Awareness Week, including a keynote speech by Hal Johnson and Joanne McLeod of Body Breaks fame.
Their message is that being physically active can also help keep you mentally healthy.
"Once again, Bruce Power is proud to lend a voice to this important cause," says Cathy Sprague, Bruce Power executive vice president, human resources. "Mental illness affects everyone, no matter where they live or work. It can impact us personally or indirectly through a family member, friend or co-worker. It is important we break down the barriers that still exist when it comes to talking about mental illness. It’s time we break the silence."
