Side By Side Program

Service Description

If you’re over the age of 18 and feeling distressed, you can access free, practical support without having to go to a mental health, general health or emergency service. A peer practitioner will work with you over two-three weeks to help you figure out the causes of your distress and support you to find ways to manage it. Your peer practitioner can also connect you with longer term supports and/or services that can help you with some of the underlying causes of distress. Side by Side is committed to providing culturally sensitive and appropriate support for people who identify as First Nations.
