Recognizing the stress and isolation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, Lakeridge Health has launched a mental health clinic to help people cope.

Anyone struggling with mental health as a result of the pandemic can call 905-440-7534 or toll-free 1-833-392-7363. The clinic is staffed Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Callers can receive counselling on responding to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on their mental health and substance use. 

They’ll receive help with health alternatives, such as coping strategies, mindfulness exercises and anxiety management skills related to substance use, gaming and gambling and mental health issues associated with stress and isolation.
