Vision: We believe that every person has the right to be supported in living a healthy positive life. A community benefits when mental health is encouraged and supported.
Mission: Our mission is to promote mental health and wellbeing for all across the lifespan and to foster stronger, connected communities where everyone feels they belong. The Waterloo Region Mental Health Work Group is focused on mental health promotion at a population level.
The Waterloo Region Mental Health Work Group is comprised of an eight-person group that is connected with the Region of Waterloo. The group promotes the Five Ways to Wellbeing mental health promotion framework and how to apply it into the local community for a pilot study. The project also offers student opportunities and experiential learning for University of Waterloo students who are enrolled in the Global Business and Digital Arts program. Through mental health awareness Waterloo Region Mental Health Work Group aims to educate students and young children the benefits of being aware of their mental health situation as well as understanding the different ways to incorporate the Five Ways to Wellbeing into daily life.
