Improving mental health is possible.
Just like physical health, there are many ways we can keep mentally healthy. At Lambton Public Health, in connection with our community partners, we want to enable individuals and families, organizations, and our entire community to have the knowledge, skills, and resources they need to be mentally healthy.
