Quinte Health, Southeast Public Health, Hastings-Quinte Paramedics, and the Hastings Prince Edward Ontario Health Team are urging residents to take proactive steps to protect themselves, their families and the broader community:

💉 Stay up-to-date with vaccines
🏥 Choose the right level of care (Health811 is an excellent virtual resource for health advice)
🧼 Take simple steps like handwashing and staying home if unwell

Together, by taking these steps, we are embracing the power to keep our communities safe and healthy this season.

October 10 is World Mental Health Day and World Homeless Day, highlighting how mental health and housing are deeply intertwined.

This year’s World Mental Health Day theme, “Access to services: mental health in catastrophes and emergencies” reminds us that mental health care can’t wait until things are calm.

From northern wildfires to flooding in eastern Ontario, to the ongoing toxic drug and housing crises, emergencies across our province have taken a toll on people’s mental health. In moments like these, access to support is lifesaving.

CMHA branches across Ontario continue to provide counselling and outreach to help people find stability when the world feels unsteady.

9-8-8: Su***de Crisis Helpline Ligne d'aide en cas de crise de su***de is also a 24/7 support service. Call or text 9-8-8.

Nearly 6 in 10 young adults (18–24) say cost keeps them from getting mental health help. No one should have to choose between paying rent and paying for care.

Today’s reflection: Think of the young people in your life. Family, friends or even neighbours. They deserve care they can afford. Let’s keep speaking up until that becomes reality.
