Wellbeing Hub - Canada
We know that times are particularly hard at the moment, whether it is worrying about our mental and physical health, new routines or worrying about our loved ones. It is natural that these changes and concerns could have an impact on our wellbeing. So now, more than ever, it is important that we look after ourselves and each other and this hub is designed to help you do that.
Simply follow the links under each wellbeing focus area to find out more and how to access resources.
Please note that is really important that you contact a medical professional if you require additional help & support.
Mental & Emotional Wellbeing is the way we think, the way we feel and how we deal with everyday stresses in life. It is really important to remember that good mental health doesn’t mean we feel happy all of the time. It is when we are finding things in life difficult to cope with that we may need to ask for help. Mental health issues can arise for ANYONE at ANYTIME and if you are struggling your first port of call should always be a medical professional.
