Some temps get mental health assistance


 

Some temporary foreign workers will gain access to mental health support because the federal and Ontario governments are giving nearly $1.8 million to the Canadian Mental Health Association.


It will provide funding first to its chapter in Windsor-Essex and then expand to Brant-Haldimand-Norfolk.


The program will provide referrals to free local services,

including recreational activities, primary care, counselling, support groups, in-person workshops, etc.


The services will be provided in Spanish, Tagalog, French and English.
