Asking for help can be intimidating, but when you call 9-8-8-, they will give you space and listen with compassion and without judgement. They will support you and explore ways to create safety when things feel overwhelming.

Nearly 6 in 10 young adults (18–24) say cost keeps them from getting mental health help. No one should have to choose between paying rent and paying for care. CMHA Niagara offers free mental health and addiction services, programs and supports 905-641-5222.

In Canada, people with poor mental health are 50% more likely to live in inadequate housing. Supportive, stable housing is mental health care. Everyone deserves a safe place to call home. CMHA Niagara provides both a Supportive Housing and Transitional Housing Support Program.

83% of Canadians agree: we need more mental health professionals. We don’t view mental health care as a luxury; we see it as essential. Access to care should be a right, not a privilege Let’s thank those in mental health care who make a difference.

On September 30 we honour survivors and their families and commit to doing better.

National Day for Truth and Reconciliation is about remembering what happened and supporting the work that’s still ahead. It's a day of awareness and a responsibility that continues.
