Mental Health



The ABSDA Board of Directors, along with many members, have recognized and acknowledged the importance of Mental Health Awareness. The Canadian Mental Health Association has proven to be a champion partner on our road to developing and integrating our Mental Health Awareness initiatives. Although each provincial division operates independently, they collectively offer training programs and resources in all regions.


Here are exciting initiatives we are offering together:
  • Mental Health Awareness webinars
  • Access to employer and individual tools and resources
  • Access to provincial and local programs and resources
