Mental Health Programs

Suicidal ideation, anxiety, depression, psychosis, dementia, post-traumatic stress disorder, bereavement, violence and many other issues are far too common in our communities. It is our duty as health professionals and our responsibility as fellow humans to do what we can to offer a sense of security and solutions for a better life to those around us. A wide range of social and mental health services are within reach to support the delivery of care.

  • This program provides access to free, short-term cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) and related services.
