Hello everyone!

A chill is in the air and the leaves are falling, that means the Autumn season for Family Educational Programs is coming to an end. Educational Programs for 2020 are currently being planned and space is being booked. The November issue will have information on the next family education program coming up in early 2020. You'll be able to sign-up for that program in early December 2019. Remember, all family education programs are free.

There are still lots of other events and training opportunities happening. Please see below in this issue for further details. To register for training and buy tickets to events, you'll find links to each below.

Take care,

Tara Maxwell, Coordinator

Find Support: Contact Crisis Services

Most of us go through life solving our day-to-day problems without needing help to cope with our feelings. But a severe illness, an accident or an emotional crisis can overwhelm us, at least temporarily, and suddenly we need help. In this section, you will find resources and tips on getting help when you need it most.

Contact our CRISIS SERVICES at 705-728-5044 (local) or 1-888-893-8333 (toll free) (TTY services available)
