Mental Health Commission launches national resource to help find reliable help

Letter from the Commissioner:

“As you know, the Mental Health Commission of Canada (MHCC) isn't a mental health services provider. Regrettably, we cannot respond to requests from individuals or clinicians. But during this time, what we can offer you is curated, evidence-based information you can trust.

In times of high anxiety and stress, it's more important than ever to safeguard your mental wellness. That includes stemming the tide of non-essential information and paring down your news consumption. It also includes accessing reliable sources of information.

Our commitment is to share credible information and resources related to mental wellness during the COVID-19 pandemic on a dedicated resource hub. It will provide you with tools we have created, links to credible national and international resources and share the proactive measures we are taking to promote mental health as we work together to plank the curve.

While our country has collectively mobilized to practice physical distancing, the strength of our social connections is more important than ever.

We'll get through this by supporting each other in the spirit of solidarity that you've always found on our social media channels, and which now extends to this new resource hub. 

Keep safe and let's stay connected.

Sincerely, 

Louise Bradley, C.M.
President and CEO”
