Happy New Year Everyone! #Hello2018 

I hope everyone had a fun and enjoyable holiday season. I have heard many family caregivers were busy travelling and visiting relatives while others were at home welcoming visitors during the festive season. We all recognize the holiday's are a busy, stressful and for some a lonely time of year. As you may already know if you have read previous issues of this #FamilyMatters E-Notice, I include after my welcome message, the information on where to call for support 24/7/365, Please connect for support, even if you don't know what services and programs may best meet your needs, some one is there to talk too. 

In this issue, is the poster to begin registering for the Barrie program which will begin on February 1, 2018. Please email me at tmaxwell@cmhastarttalking.ca to reserve yourself a place in the program. I will release posters with all the information on future programs on dates coming soon. I have included those dates and locations in this issue.

The Barrie Family Support Group will resume on January 9, 2018. For further information, please feel free to contact the facilitator, Elizabeth Marshall. Poster is included in this issue.

 I look forward to seeing everyone in the family programs this year, take care of yourself and connect with me if you have questions or need system navigation support.

If you would like ongoing support here are places you can contact. To have 24/7 support, Crisis Services at 705-728-5044 will get you to speak with a live mental health professional. You may also see them in-person by calling the same number and ask for a mobile service.

To inquire about services at Canadian Mental Health Association of Simcoe County, you may call and speak with the On-Duty Worker Monday-Friday (9am-4pm) at 705-726-5033, anyone can also walk-in, without an appointment, and speak with the On-Duty Worker at 88 Mulcaster St., second floor.

Family members interested in speaking with an addiction counselor may contact the On-Duty Worker for this service at 705-726-5033.

911 is always available for immediate, emergency service.

Take care,

Tara Maxwell, Coordinator
