On World Mental Health Day, we’re all reminded of the importance of mental well-being. It affects all of us—our families, friends, and communities. And while many individuals face challenges, it’s crucial to know that you’re not alone and support is out there.

In Alberta, the government is taking steps to improve mental health services. They believe that recovery and wellness are not just possible but achievable. With initiatives aimed at prevention, intervention, and treatment, they’re making mental health a priority!

Youth, in particular, are receiving special attention. With funding directed at organizations like CASA Mental Health and programs that support students in schools, there’s an effort to ensure that young people have the resources they need. They’re even enhancing mental health hubs to provide specialized care for issues like eating disorders.

If you or someone you know needs support, don’t hesitate to reach out! You can call 211 Alberta to connect with local services in your community. Remember, the right care can pave the way for mental wellness.
