Defeat Depression is a national mental health awareness, anti-stigma and fundraising campaign that provides hope and reduces stigma for people affected by depression and other mood disorders. Depression is a common illness affecting many individuals and families. It strikes all socioeconomic, educational, and cultural backgrounds.
Across Canada, mental health organizations, community groups, caring companies, and concerned volunteers are planning walks, runs, rides and other physical or social activities encouraging people to Move for Mental Health. We hope to open the dialogue to break down the barrier of stigma and educate Canadians about mental illnesses and the importance of mental health.
