Isolation, lockdowns, job loss. All of this and more has taken a toll on our mental health.
Being separated from loved ones is having devastating effects on our mental well-being. For some, due to COVID-19, this is their first time experiencing mental health issues. For others, the depression and isolation we’re feeling this year is a year-round reality.
Isolation, lockdowns, job loss. All of this and more has taken a toll on our mental health.
Vulnerable people are struggling and they need our help now.
As our communities grapple with the effects of the pandemic, your donation will:
- Expand mental health supports in rural areas to ensure top-quality virtual care.
- Strengthen helplines like 211, Counselling Connect, and the Distress Centre of Ottawa and Region, which are a lifeline for many.
- Help deliver culturally-appropriate crisis and mental health services.
- Make sure mental health supports are easier to access, since traditional face-to-face counselling sessions are not an option for many.
