CMHA supports Pink Shirt Day

Feb 23, 2022

On February 23, individuals and organizations across the country will come together to celebrate Pink Shirt Day, an annual anti-bullying campaign.

Bullying is a form of aggression where there is a power imbalance; the person doing the bullying has power over the person being victimized. In additional to any physical trauma incurred, bullying can result in mental health issues, including anxiety, low self-esteem, or depression. Pink Shirt Day aims to raise awareness of these issues, as well as raise funds to support programs that foster children’s healthy self-esteem.

CMHA Simcoe County Branch offers support for youth and their families. Find out more

The campaign theme this year is to “Lift each other up” and have greater acceptance, respect, and inclusion for everyone. For more information on anti-bullying resources, visit pinkshirtday.ca.
