e-Mental Health
Expanding online mental health tools and treatments for all Nova Scotians.
Access to e-mental health tools is greater than ever before in Nova Scotia thanks to generous donors.
During the 30-day Mindwell Challenge, I experienced more moments of contentment and joy as a result of being present, focusing on what is going well and being less reactive. This has been an incredibly powerful yet simple practice. My wellness is in a positive place – thanks to mindfulness, moving more and connecting with others.”
– Mary, Mindwell participant
