Mental Health the Focus of Summit

The second annual Northern Health Summit was held in Flin Flon yesterday.  Northern Health Region Chief Executive Officer Helga Bryant says it’s an opportunity to get key leaders from our communities together to discuss and explore health issues and identify priority concerns. Bryant says the summit was centered on mental health and wellness.  She says she sees it as beginning to give people a glimpse that  as a health region they are moving increasingly towards seeing mental health not as a disease, not as something that becomes stigmatized, but rather as something that all of us may well struggle with from time to time that is on a continuum and that it is together that we will become feeling more emotionally and mentally well.

The Summit was attended by over 100 people from across the north representing community members, local Councils, First Nations and government.
