Understanding what constitutes a mental illness is a critical step in the process of seeking the right service or support. Knowledge is power. The Canadian Centre for Addiction and Mental health (CAMH) offers a series of free online tutorials, which is a starting point for learning about mental health.

These tutorials can help you and those around you begin to break down barriers and reduce the stigma associated with mental illness and addiction.

For some people, this time of year means gathering around a full table. For others, it can mean quietly wondering how to put food on that table at all.

As the weather gets colder and the months ahead bring extra expenses, an already tight grocery budget can feel even tighter. If you’re finding it harder to make ends meet, you’re not alone — and asking for help doesn’t mean you’ve failed. Sometimes, you just need a little extra support.

Across Nova Scotia, community organizations offer food, groceries, community meals and other supports throughout the year. Call 2-1-1. We can help you find food support in your community.
