A little time invested in your mental health goes a long way
From one-on-one counselling to mental health focused workshops, Alberta Primary Care Networks offer a variety of free mental health programs to help you get through difficult times.
One counselling session can have a big impact
Did you know that studies show a single counselling session can be just as effective as long-term counselling.
“A common misconception about accessing mental health services is the heavy time commitment required by the patient. Our data shows that many patients find value in just one session,” says Daniel Liddle, Calgary Foothills Primary Care Network mental health professional.
