Minister of Health Remarks from Mental Health Awareness Week Ceremony
Good Afternoon,
Thank you for attending today’s closing ceremony for Mental Health Awareness Week.
Our theme for Mental Health Awareness Week was ‘Be Kind’. But our message today is that we want people to be kind well beyond this week. So although this is the official closing of Mental Health Awareness Week, it is also the official call to our Bermuda community to keep being kind after this week into the coming year and beyond.
The Dalai Lama has said, “Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.”
