Resources
Need help?
While I'd love to help, I'm not a qualified psychologist, psychiatrist or therapist.
However, I hope the below Canadian resources can guide you in the right direction.
Canadian Mental Health Association (C.M.H.A.)
In my book I talk about how much this organization helps me with their group programs. With 330 community locations, check www.cmha.ca to find resources local to you or online.
Connex Ontario
Available 24/7 for call, text, email or live chat. 1-866-531-2600 www.connexontario.ca for supportive listening and resources in your area.
Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (C.A.M.H)
With both community programs and an in-patient hospital in Toronto, www.camh.ca , provides services for patients and families. A valuable resource is the virtual urgent care with same day appointments Virtual Urgent Care | CAMH
Hope and Me - Mood Disorders Association of Ontario
Specifically for mood disorders, they have a bi-monthly bipolar support group, in addition to services such as counseling and an 8-week W.R.A.P. program (Wellness Recovery Action Plan discussed in Chapter 5 of the book)
