Canada Day is an opportunity to celebrate the people, cultures, and communities that make this country home. It is also a time to recognize the history of this land and honour the enduring presence, histories, and contributions of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Peoples. As we celebrate, may we also reflect, learn, and continue working toward a future built on respect, understanding and reconciliation. #NoOneLeftBehind

Why do diagnoses for anxiety and depression often go overlooked for neurodivergent folks? CAMH Expert, Dr. Lunsky explores this type of diagnostic overshadowing and highlights the importance of adapting care to different ways of thinking and communicating to ensure symptoms aren’t missed or misread in how they show up.

“I have done hair for 50 years. And in that time, I have had every kind of person sit in my chair. Somewhere between the wash and the finish, when someone is being cared for, people start to talk. This Men’s Mental Health Month, I keep thinking about the men. A man who might never walk into a therapist’s office will sit down for a haircut. And sometimes, that is where it comes out: his family, the week he has had, the things he has been carrying on his own. That has taught me something important: care does not always begin in a clinical setting. Sometimes it begins in a chair. In a conversation. In a moment where someone feels respected, listened to and restored. For years, my slogan has been “well-being through beauty,” and working with CAMH Foundation felt like a natural extension of that belief. I first began volunteering at Gifts of Light Wellness Days, where I saw that idea come to life. I watched people’s energy shift before and after a service. I saw clients gain confidence after services, follow along their recovery and eventually leave inpatient care. Some even remained clients — only now at my studio. Sometimes, something as simple as having your hair shampooed, cut or styled can help someone feel like themselves again. Men, like anyone else, need spaces where they can feel supported without judgment. And sometimes, opening up starts with feeling comfortable enough to be cared for. I wanted to do more. So I decided to use what I had built over my career — my relationships with salons, designers, agencies, models, restaurants and the Yorkville community — to create a fashion show that brings people together for a cause. That is how Couture for a Cause came to life. The event brings together Yorkville salons, Canadian designers, boutiques, restaurants and models in support of CAMH Foundation. For me, supporting CAMH Foundation is about helping people understand the power of care. Care can be a conversation. It can be a service. It can be reminding someone of their dignity when they may not feel it themselves. Because when someone feels cared for, it can change everything.” -Daniel Fiorio, Founder of Hairdressers for Love & Peace Foundation This Men’s Mental Health Month, CAMH Foundation is encouraging people to check in on the men in their lives and create space for honest conversations.
