It’s ok to feel feel sad or stressed

Toronto – Toronto Public Health has said it’s ok not to be ok. A city’s social media portal says: “The last 3 years have been hard for a lot of us. Many people may feel sad, stressed, scared or angry. These are normal & common responses. You are not alone. These are normal and common responses to unexpected or stressful situations. Support is available. During the Covid-19 pandemic, the City of Toronto partnered with 31 organizations to help connect residents to free mental health support. Through this partnership, the City’s Mental Health Support Strategy responds to the needs of children and youth, seniors, frontline workers, as well as those with intersectional identities, such as Indigenous, Black, persons with disabilities and 2SLGBTQ people, who are struggling with isolation, stress and anxiety. Our partners provide free mental health supports to diverse communities across Toronto. Not sure which of our mental health partners to contact?
