The Canadian Association of Social Workers (CASW) encourages social workers and all Canadians to next week (October 2-8, 2011) champion Mental Illness Awareness Week (MIAW) in our communities and places of work.
Beginning in 1992, MIAW provides faces to mental illness with a week devoted to promoting space for national dialogue and a public education campaign designed to help open the eyes of Canadians to the reality of mental illness.
