2011 Take A Mental Health Break-Fast raises $171,930 in support of mental health

Over four hundred of Edmonton’s business and community leaders took a ‘Mental Heath Break-Fast’ this morning in support of the Mental Health Foundation. The event, sponsored by the Robert Proznik Family, Larry and Janet Anderson Charity Fund, and Cameron Development Corporation, raised funds for an urgent and growing issue in our society... mental illness.

Part of the proceeds of the 2011 Take A Mental Health Break-Fast will benefit the WRAP (Wellness Recovery Action Planning) program, a self-designed plan for assisting individuals with mental health and addiction challenges in staying well. The WRAP approach empowers a person to take control of their own health and wellness. WRAP is an 8-12 week program, where participants create an individualized plan to achieve and maintain recovery.
