Mental Health in times of COVID-19

 What Promotional Event/Material
are available to Kins?

In preparation for annual national events, the CKA invites Kins to participate and to get involved in their province and community to increase awareness of the profession. The CKA providesdocuments, promotional resources, material and tools to Kins to help Kins in the delivery of their services.

The Canadian Kinesiology Alliance is reminding Canadians affected by mental illness, that kinesiologists, as part of a professional health team, can help them to move better, live better. Kinesiologist can help! Some have begun in January with Bell Let's Talk and now will continue with CMHA Mental Health Week, to finally join us from November 23 to 29th with National Kinesiology Week in support of Mental Health. Canadians are invited to find strategies and opportunities to lead a more active lifestyle. Canadians are invited to take on the eMentalFitChallenge to find strategies and opportunities to lead a more active lifestyle.
