Part of unmasking mental health is dispelling the myth that self-care is self-indulgent. Caring for ourselves is simply making time to do things that improve both our physical and mental health; it’s proactive and deliberate and it’s critical to our mental and physical wellbeing. We should all practice self-care in some form every day from ensuring we get a good night’s rest to getting help when we need it. Today is International Self-care Day, so it's the perfect time to fit some self-care into our day.

Here are some simple ways to practice self-care:

* get a good night’s rest
* eat balanced meals
* take a bath
* snuggle with pets
* spend time in nature, e.g., go walking, hiking or paddling, do some gardening, or just sit outside
* do some physical activity, e.g., a workout, stretching or yoga, paddling, or team sports
* meditate / practice mindfulness
* get creative: make or build something
* spend time with people who lift you up
* get professional mental and physical therapy when you need it

You might be in a bad mental state, but it doesn’t have to stay that way. Where you start doesn’t determine where you’ll go.

This quote can remind you that no matter how bad things seem right now, they will get better. That thought alone can improve your mental health and help you feel better as you overcome obstacles.

And we are here to help.

Mental Health in Canada: What the 2026 Data Reveals

In a world where personal, professional, and societal pressures are ever-present, mental health has become impossible to ignore. And yet, despite growing awareness, many realities remain under the surface.

According to a LEO survey conducted in February 2026, nearly one in two Canadians has hidden their mental health status at work over the past year. Even more striking, 24% say they do so consistently with their employer or colleagues, even when dealing with stress, anxiety, or burnout.
The takeaway is clear: mental health is still a difficult conversation in the workplace.

Mental health is not experienced the same way by everyone. Younger workers are particularly affected, with nearly one in four consistently concealing their struggles. Women are also more likely to hide their mental health, with 50% reporting they do so, compared to 38% of men. These gaps reflect deeper realities, including job insecurity and the persistent stigma surrounding mental health.

There are, however, signs of progress. In 2025, 86% of Canadians rated their mental health as good, very good, or excellent, compared to 79% in 2020. At the same time, the proportion reporting poor mental health has declined from 19% to 11%. While encouraging, these figures should be interpreted with caution. Progress is real, but it remains uneven, especially in workplace settings.

Mental health does not exist in isolation. It is shaped by the world around us. Mental health isn’t only about personal challenges; it’s also shaped by the environment around us.
Canadians point to several key factors influencing their well-being:
* Political issues and government decisions: 72%
* Family and personal matters: 69%
* Health and wellness concerns: 67%
* Social and cultural issues: 60%
These insights highlight just how closely our environment is tied to our mental balance.

Talking about mental health isn’t always easy, but it’s essential. Whether with a friend, a colleague, or a professional, opening up helps break down stigma and move the conversation forward.
