Mental Health Resources: National & Provincial Crisis Lines

February 16, 2023

Everyone’s situation is different. If you find yourself in need of support but don’t know where to turn, please reach out—don’t be alone. If you know someone who is struggling, please share these resources with them. Post the flyer on your community or work board to let others know that they are not alone.

Prevention Link offers various training in mental health. Check our scheduled 2023 workshops below. More to come.

Mental Health 101, Mindfulness & Challenges in Life & Self Care
February 28 @ 9:30 am – 12:30 pm | $89.00
Prevention Link is hosting an online 1/2-day workshop created for basic training for Mental Health in the workplace and conversations around destigmatization.
If you require financial assistance, email info@preventionlink.ca for an available bursary (limited quantity available).

Mental Health First Aid Basic – In-Person
October 4 – October 5
Prevention Link, on behalf of the Mental Health Commission of Canada, is proud to offer this two-day course, which gives participants the skills to provide assistance to a person who has a mental health problem or is experiencing a mental health crisis. Just as physical first aid is administered to an injured person before professional medical care can be offered, mental health first aid will help to bridge a gap in treatment.

 

IF YOU ARE IN DISTRESS
» Go to the nearest hospital; or
» Call 9-1-1; or
» Call a Crisis Line: 2-1-1 or 1-877-330-3213
(Services are also available as text, online chatbot, email)

Vaccines – a tool to end the COVID-19 pandemic

May 11, 2021

Vaccines are a vital tool in stopping the spread of COVID-19, and are an important component in the promotion of general health and disease prevention in our communities and workplaces.

Make an informed decision that is right for you:

  • Read reliable sources.
  • Follow credible media outlets.
  • Talk to your health care provider.

Click the images below to download our printable poster and shareables for social media.

 

Learn about COVID-19 vaccines approved in Canada by watching our recorded conversation with Dr. Chénier who guided us through the work of our immune system, how the body responds to clear infections and how a vaccine supports the body’s natural abilities to heal, and the kinds of vaccines that are on the market right now. Using this new understanding, we hope is that you will be able to better advocate for yourselves with your health care providers by asking questions about vaccination that are relevant for your health condition.
