Reach out for Mental Health

Summer Burton • August 10, 2020

Join our social media campaign for mental health awareness!

While Ontario’s Literacy and Basic Skills agencies are accustomed to working with vulnerable individuals, the pandemic has increased the number of people who feel vulnerable and stressed at a time when access to services that might usually be available to support mental health challenges are reduced. 

Literacy Link South Central (LLSC), in partnership with a small group of literacy networks including Community Literacy of Ontario (CLO),Literacy Northwest (LNW) and QUILL Learning Network, have decided to share resources and raise awareness of mental health via a 21-day social media campaign called “Reach Out for Mental Health”. 

This campaign will launch on September 1st and end on September 21, 2020. During this 21-day period, LLSC, CLO, LNW and QUILL will create daily social media posts under the hashtag #ReachOut4MentalHealth. We hope you'll follow along, and join in the conversation by sharing your own resources as well!

The Skills for Success are the nine skills the Canadian government has identified everyone needs to be successful in work, learning and life. Today we're continuing our look at the Skills for Success by talking about Writing . According to the Canadian government, writing is how we share information using written words, symbols, and images. For example, we use this skill to fill out forms and applications, and write emails, reports and social media posts. Learn more about writing and the other Skills for Success here , and think about the writing you do on an average day, from grocery lists to reminders to homework. If you'd like to build your reading, writing, creativity, problem solving, and other Skills for Success, Ontario's adult literacy programs offer free, individualized training that can help.
