Today, I spoke at the mental health drop-in centre in Medicine Hat, AB. Initially I felt tired so my words lacked some enthusiasm but I still got good responses from a small group of patients and a few health care workers. In addition to arranging TV and newspaper coverage, the Canadian Mental Health Association marketing [...]
