Share this article OTTAWA, ON, April 19, 2021 /CNW/ - The COVID-19 pandemic continues to create stress and anxiety for many Canadians, particularly those who do not have ready access to their regular support networks. Through the Wellness Together Canada online portal, people of all ages across the country can access immediate, free and confidential mental health and substance use supports, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. On this last stretch through the COVID-19 crisis, we can gain strength from good news and focussing on the things we're grateful for. I have been heartened by the many ways Canadians are helping to support their community. One such example comes to us from the Canadian Caribbean Association of Halton, in Ontario. Members of this community have come together to develop the 'Beat the COVID-19 Blues' program, which focusses on supporting individuals who need to self-isolate with healthy and nutritious meals. And their support does not end there, they have also arranged a program of free online family entertainment, including concerts and virtual cooking classes, to support a sense of community.
