Mental Health Matters: Addressing the Crisis in Moose Jaw
Mental health challenges have been on the rise, particularly following the pandemic. Addressing these issues is essential for the well-being of Moose Jaw residents and for building a strong, supportive community.
Problem Overview: Moose Jaw has seen a rise in cases of depression, anxiety, and substance abuse. The Police and Crisis Team (PACT) has been crucial in responding to mental health crises, but there is still a lack of resources to properly support those in need.
Why This Matters: Mental health affects every aspect of our community. When people receive the help they need, they can lead happier, healthier lives, which benefits all of Moose Jaw.
Call to Action: We invite residents to support mental health initiatives and participate in workshops or community events that raise awareness. Let’s work together to build a community that cares for everyone’s mental well-being.
