Support Resources
We’d like to recommend Wellness Together Canada, which is sponsored by the Government of Canada. This site is free and hosts high-quality resources. Read about it here. Key aspects of the site are:
-
information about how to connect with mental health professionals for free assistance,
-
an in-depth self-assessment of your distress level, well being, functioning,
-
a showcase of a number of mental health resources that are available online.
The World Health Organization's tips are here.
