This service helps you create an action plan for your own self-care and well being while supporting another adult living with a mental health and/or substance use issue.
When in a supportive role it is very easy to place our own needs to the side while we support our family and friends living with a mental health and/or substance issue.
This service provides an opportunity for you to meet with staff in small groups and/or individually to design an action plan to make your life the way you want it to be.
