Public Awareness Campaigns
Roots of Hope Meadow Lake puts particular emphasis on the pillar of public and community awareness. This includes locally-driven campaigns to promote mental health awareness (posters, brochures, social media etc.) and collaboration with the media. Our Public Awareness campaigns are derived from focus groups, situation analyses and community input.
