For more than a year, we’ve been asked to help our communities by staying apart; now it’s time to help each other by reaching out, speaking up and offering support—or seeking it, if needed. Like our 2020 Recognition Medal for essential workers, the 2022 Mental Health Medal is a unique keepsake you can wear, keep or give to someone. It is a reminder that no one is truly alone, that there is someone who is willing to listen, and that your feelings do matter. With this special medal, you’re also signalling your support for mental health resources and services in Canada: we’re donating 100% of the net proceeds to Kids Help Phone to help ensure young people in Canada have access to mental health support in any moment of crisis or need, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

If you or someone you know needs mental health support, help IS available. Connect with Kids Help Phone 24/7 by calling 1-800-668-6868 (toll free).

• “I’m listening.” Listening is one-half of a successful conversation, and everyone wants to feel heard. When you show this medal, you’re signalling your willingness to have a conversation about mental health with those around you.
• “You're not alone.” If you’re struggling, this medal is a reminder that there is no such thing as “perfect” mental health. It’s a gentle encouragement to talk to someone and seek help when needed, because mental health matters.
• Includes magnet attachment. The medal is made of nickel-plated steel that makes it magnetic. To wear it, choose the side you wish to display; position the medal on your clothing, then place the magnet on the other side of the fabric to hold it in place.
