Transgender Day of Remembrance

Today, we honour the transgender and gender-diverse people whose lives were lost to violence and discrimination. This day can be heavy, and we recognize the impact it has on many in our community.

At CRMHAA, we stand with our transgender community members and remain committed to providing safe, respectful, and inclusive mental health support.

If today feels difficult, please take the space you need and reach out if support would be helpful. We are here for you.

The Capital Youth Hub is making DIY Self Care kits today! What is a Self Care kit?? A self care kit is a personalized collection of items that can help you feel better when you're feeling low, upset or distressed. It's filled with things that bring you comfort and is your own little ‘go-to’ place for when you're not feeling your best.

It's a place you can turn to without having to come up with ideas on how to feel better in the moment. Instead of feeling stuck or not knowing what to do, your kit is there to support you and help you feel better quickly.

Stop by the Youth Hub today to make yours!

Today is World Kindness Day.
A small act of kindness can make a big difference—especially for someone struggling quietly with their mental health.

Kindness doesn’t have to be big or expensive. It can look like:
• Checking in on a friend
• Offering patience instead of judgement
• Holding space for someone to talk
• Being gentle with yourself

Let’s choose kindness today—and every day.

As a reminder, our office will be closed today November 11th in observation of Remembrance Day.

Remembrance Day calls us to honour those who served and those who never came home.
It also calls us to remember the ongoing impact of service on mental health, the invisible battles many continue to face in silence.
Their memory reminds us that war leaves echoes — in grief, in loss, and in the unseen wounds of the soul.

As we remember the fallen, may we also care for those who live with the lasting weight of remembrance.

Love does not hurt. Love should not hurt.

Experiencing or witnessing domestic violence can have long-term effects on mental health - increasing stress levels, anxiety, depression, and feelings of isolation. Recognizing the signs of abuse is an important first step in helping yourself or someone else seek safety and support.

At CRMHAA, we have a team that can provide advocacy support and connect individuals to community resources specific to their situation that promotes healing and hope.

If you or someone you know may be experiencing domestic violence, please reach out to the following resources for support:
https://yourcall.nb.211.ca/
https://www2.gnb.ca/content/gnb/en/departments/public-safety/community_safety/content/intimate_part…
https://www.libertylane.ca/

Each website has an "quick exit" or "quick escape" button that will immediately redirect you to another webpage when clicked.

If you are interested in how to help, you can apply to join the Love Shouldn't Hurt campaign at the following link: https://www2.gnb.ca/content/gnb/en/departments/public-safety/community_safety/content/love-shouldnt-hurt.html
