In celebration of Mental Health Awareness Month, Canada’s own Tara Hodgson is bringing renewed focus through her Young Adult novels, At Least I’m Trying and Chasing Through Time!
Told with searing honesty and lyrical depth, At Least I’m Trying is a poignant novel about mental
health, girlhood, and what happens when the version of yourself you’ve worked so hard to
become starts to fall apart.

This gripping tale of bridging the gap between eras explores the enduring power of human connection, the complexities of teenage life, and the lengths to which a stranger will go to save a life.

In Canada, May is officially observed as Mental Health Awareness Month, providing an opportunity to increase understanding of mental health, reduce stigma, and highlight the value of mental health supports and services.
Mental health is a fundamental aspect of overall health, affecting individuals, families, and communities across all ages, cultures, and socioeconomic backgrounds. The month emphasizes the importance of inclusive, supportive communities and addresses systemic barriers such as poverty, discrimination, and gender-based violence that can limit access to care.
