At the PEI Alliance for Mental Well-Being, we understand that “mental well-being” means something different to everyone. Last year, we launched an initiative to explore how Islanders define mental well-being. Partnering with a community volunteer with lived experience and our summer research student, we traveled across PEI to gather perspectives from people of diverse backgrounds. What we learned was invaluable: mental well-being is deeply personal and unique to each individual. These insights continue to shape our approach to fostering connections, guiding research, and inspiring innovative public policy discussions. Take a look at the art piece below, a visual representation of the answers we received.
