If you're having problems with an addiction or your mental health, you are not alone. Mental health problems are common. One in five Canadian adults will have a mental disorder during their life. Research shows half of all lifetime cases of mental illness begin by age 14.
In Alberta, help is a phone call away for both children and adults. For those living in northern, central or southern Alberta, a new service, Access Addiction & Mental Health is available to connect you to highly skilled health professionals ready to work with you - right now. We will listen to your concerns and find the services and support right for you.
Mental health includes addictions to substances and behaviours, as well as mental illnesses, increased stress, negative emotions, resilience, poor body image and self-esteem, all-or-none thinking and a host of other problems. Like your overall health, mental health also includes getting professional help when things don’t feel right.
Access Addiction & Mental Health is for non-urgent support to help you find the services to help. Make calling us your first step on your recovery journey.
