It was a packed hall this morning for the annual fundraiser breakfast in support of the Mental Health Foundation. Great presentation by Dr. David Goldbloom.👏🏻
It was a pleasure to join the YMCA of Northern Alberta table. The Y plays a significant role in operating the newly opened Kickstand Edmonton Mental Health Hub located in West Edmonton Mall offering free counselling and support for mental health, substance addiction, peer support, indigenous wellness, employment support and access to primary health care for people 11-25.
