“This initiative is a reminder that something as simple as reaching out to family, friends and even yourself can make a big difference.”
Northgate Shopping Center has partnered with Kids Help Phone (KHP) to launch its first-ever check-in. Activities and donation initiatives commemorating National Mental Health Awareness Month in May.
This first partnership aims to raise public awareness of the mental health issues facing young people and promote positive impact.
“Northgate Shopping Center is excited to partner with Kids Help Phone to engage with the North Bay community and promote mental health as a priority,” said Marketing Manager Emily Gauthier.
“This initiative is a reminder that the simple act of keeping in touch with family, friends and ourselves can make a big difference.”
As the name suggests, CHECK-IN! This initiative encourages everyone to check in with each other, emphasizing the importance of self-care in maintaining personal health.
The initiative will feature a range of activities taking place throughout the remainder of the year, both online and at Morgard Shopping Centers across the country, including Northgate Shopping Centre.
“It is part of our goal to support and enhance the overall well-being of the communities we serve,” Gauthier said.
