May 12–18, 2025 is National Nurse week
At Creating Your Balance Counselling Therapy, we proudly celebrate National Nursing Week 2025 by spotlighting the incredible work of mental health nurses—compassionate professionals who transform lives through their dedication, skill, and presence in the therapeutic process.
The Unsung Heroes of Mental Health
Mental health nurses are often the first point of support for individuals facing emotional and psychological distress. They provide trauma-informed care, help manage psychiatric conditions, advocate for patients’ rights, and collaborate closely with counsellors, social workers, and physicians to deliver holistic care. Their role is both clinical and relational—grounded in evidence, empathy, and trust.
“Mental health nursing is a highly skilled, highly valued specialty that blends science and humanity.”
—Canadian Federation of Mental Health Nurses (CFMHN)
Why Mental Health Nurses Matter
In a time when mental health needs are rising—particularly post-pandemic—mental health nurses are more essential than ever. They work in hospitals, clinics, shelters, correctional settings, and communities, helping individuals cope with everything from anxiety and depression to complex trauma and psychiatric illness. Their presence improves patient outcomes and reduces stigma.
Mental Health Nurses in Nova Scotia
In Nova Scotia, mental health nurses are at the heart of efforts to expand access to psychological care. From supporting people through crisis interventions to working with interdisciplinary teams in community mental health programs, these professionals embody the Nursing Week 2025 theme: “The Power of Nurses to Transform Health.”
We see this power every day—in resilience, in listening without judgment, and in creating safe spaces for healing.
