Just like we know that taking care of our physical health is important to keep our bodies strong and healthy, it's equally vital that we take care of our mental health.
Mental Health includes our emotional, psychological and social well-being, which means it affects how we think, feel, and act. It also helps determine how we handle stress in our lives, relate to others, and what choices we make.
Our mental health affects our relationships, our self-esteem and how well we cope with life’s challenges. Because it's just as important as physical health, it’s important to monitor our mental health, and it's impertative that we reach out when we need some extra support.
The cost of counselling can pose a barrier for many, but the County is working to minimize this barrier by partially offsetting the cost of preventative counselling services.
Through this program, the County contracts a local counselling agency to provide counselling services at a subsidized rate. See if you're eligible.
