Health & Wellness

Mental health, chronic illness, addiction, and caregiver burnout — whatever you're facing, support exists closer than you think.

Your health matters — and so does asking for help

One in five Canadians will experience a mental health challenge this year. Yet stigma, cost, and long waitlists keep too many people from getting the help they need. The Canadian Village Project is here to change that.

We connect you with crisis lines, community mental health centres, addiction recovery programs, and caregiver support networks — many of them free, walk-in, or available by phone right now.

After my diagnosis, I felt completely alone. The volunteer who visited me every week didn't fix anything — but she made everything feel survivable.
