| Out of the Blue invites youto wear blue on Southern Health-Santé Sud Regional Blue Day |
Out of the Blue is a regional public awareness and
education program that aims to inspire and inform students and youth,
residents, businesses and agencies in our region. The aim is to get everyone
involved in making positive mental health a priority, creating a new voice for
mental health and mental illness (please note: the Out of the Blue
website has not yet been updated to reflect merger).
This new voice will:
- Increase awareness and develop broad-based support for positive mental health
- Increase awareness of suicide as a problem that is preventable, through a focus on education and advocacy of positive mental health
- Reduce the stigma associated with mental illness
- Support the development and implementation of community-driven suicide awareness and prevention programs
- Promote accurate mental health information;
- Encourage help seeking behavior by open, direct and honest talk about suicide; and,
- Spread hope for recovery
