Mental Health Support

Mental health is often misunderstood and can be difficult to talk about, but it is important to remember it is manageable.

Here are a few resources individuals and families in Alberta can access to receive support for #MentalHealth concerns:

  • Alberta PCNs have a variety of resources including mental health workshops, social worker support and mental health professionals. Talk to your family doctor to learn more.
  • @Anxiety_Canada promotes awareness of anxiety disorders and increases access to evidence-based resources and treatment.
  • @CMHA Canadian Mental Health Association delivers free mental health programs, services, education and support for individuals and families.
  • @Albertahealthservice Access Mental Health offers non-urgent information, consultation and referrals for individuals with addiction and/or mental health concerns.

If you or someone you know is struggling with mental health concerns, talk to your family doctor.

August 31 is #OverdoseAwareness Day

August 31 is #OverdoseAwareness Day. #Overdose is a growing public health crisis in Canada due to
– the increasingly toxic drug supply
– increased feelings of isolation, stress and anxiety
– changes in the availability or accessibility of services for people who use drugs
 
On August 31st, let’s remember without stigma those who have died and acknowledge the grief of family and friends left behind.
 
If you’re taking pain medication, talk to your doctor about how to manage and reduce your risk. For a list of questions to ask, visit bit.ly/3QKq806
