Swift Current CMHA

We recognize the challenges faced by those living with schizophrenia—a severe mental disorder that affects 1% of the population. It's important to remember that schizophrenia is an illness, not an identity. CMHA stands with the @SchizophreniaCa in promoting acceptance, support, hope, and recovery for those affected by early psychosis or schizophrenia. Let’s end the stigma and foster a better understanding of these conditions. 💚 #SchizophreniaAwareness #PsychosisAwareness #MentalHealthMatters
