Hey CCYYC community,

We are so excited to finally share our new series, “Let’s Talk About…”

The goal of this series is to inform the community about different mental health topics. Rather than promoting a program, this series is meant to educate and help push the mental health conversation forward. We believe that when you start talking about mental health, people are more willing to make changes in their own lives or support those around them. We also hope you comment on and share these videos to help spread awareness and keep these conversations going.

This week, we have Mozanga Ekwalanga, a counsellor from Kindred, talking about grief. Grief is something we all experience at some point in our lives, though no one’s journey is the same. The feeling of loss comes differently for everyone. While grief can be hard, it’s important to remember where those feelings come from. Talking about your feelings isn’t something to shy away from; it’s something to embrace.

This series is designed to give mental health professionals a platform to share the knowledge and insights they’ve gained throughout their careers with the public. The goal is to help everyone feel more informed, supported, and connected.

We at CCYYC are excited to bring you more content like this every Monday.

And as always, remember that you aren’t alone. Someone is here to talk whenever you’re ready.

What has helped you when grieving, or how have you supported friends or family through grief?

Hey CCYYC family,

We know that sometimes it's hard not to feel alone, even at a full table.

We all struggle on the inside at times, and it can be scary to open up, but you don't have to go through it alone.

Talking to someone can make a real difference and help you feel supported.

Community Connect YYC offers programs that can help you find the support you need through tough times.

You are not alone.

Happy Friday, CCYYC Community!

We hope you had a great week. If things are feeling a little stressful, take a few deep breaths, stretch, or step away for a mindful moment. Even a short walk or connecting with someone who understands can make a big difference.

And remember, you are enough.

Happy World Mental Health Day, CCYYC Community!

As we head into the long weekend, it's a great time to pause and check in with yourself. Whether you're supporting others or focusing on your own mental health, here are three simple but powerful reminders:

✅ Stay Connected: Talking to someone you trust can help you feel supported and less alone.

✅ Take Breaks: Resting your mind and body helps reduce stress and improve focus.

✅ Reach Out: Asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness.

At CCYYC, we understand that life doesn't stop in the evenings or on weekends. Getting support shouldn't stop either. That’s why our website is built to fit your schedule. You can book appointments anytime, including weekends, without worrying about office hours.

Our easy-to-use online portal connects you with the care you or your loved ones need, when you need it.
