Mental Health Month Trivia

Trivia is a great way to bring people together, have a bit of fun, and in this case, learn something too. These are some suggested questions to use at your mental health month trivia, and you can add any questions or topics you like! You can host the trivia at your morning tea, or as a separate event in the month.
