Mental Health
Sometimes, despite our best efforts, we find ourselves in circumstances out of our control. If you or someone you know has a mental health issue, help is available. For immediate assistance, please call one of the crisis lines or call 9-1-1.
Mental health is a term that refers to each and every one of us and relates to one's emotional and psychological well-being. Mental health affects 100% of Manitobans.
Mental health and wellness is much more than the absence of a mental illness. Having good mental health means having a positive sense of well-being, as well as a belief in our own (and others') dignity and worth.
The concept of 'recovery' in mental health refers to living a satisfying, hopeful, and contributing life, even when a person may be experiencing ongoing symptoms of a mental health problem or illness. Recovery journeys build on individual, family, cultural, and community strengths and can be supported by many types of services, supports, and treatments.
This site provides a general overview of the available mental health services in Manitoba, from both the formal medical system, as well as non-profit community mental health agencies.
