Defeat Depression London

The Defeat Depression Campaign provides hope and reduces stigma for people impacted by depression and other mood disorders.

Across Canada, mental health organizations, community groups, caring companies and volunteers are planning walks, runs, rides and other physical and social activities to raise funds and awareness for mental health.

Depression is a common illness that impacts many individuals and families and strikes all socioeconomic, educational, and cultural backgrounds. Physical activity such as walking and running, along with social interaction, can have a positive effect on mental well-being, and opening the dialogue on mental illness can help educate people and break down the barrier of stigma.
