HOW ARE YOU, REALLY?

YOU MATTER is an awareness campaign initiated by the Government of PEI to foster important conversations around mental health and well-being for our employees. YOU MATTER prompts employees to ask, “how are you really doing?”, to check-in and provide clearer direction to mental health resources. No matter your answer to the question, there are resources for you.
