Building resilience through connections

We are all connected. A personal relationship, a comparable experience or simply living in the same community, our circles may run parallel and never touch, intersect one or two times, or blend together on a continual basis. 

It’s part of our Some Other Solutions (SOS) story that resonates with me every day and even more in the last several months as we’ve provided support for many in the community who were suffering from PTSD with the latest wildfires in the province. 

We are all connected and for many of us, through comparable experiences. SOS has been a foundation of the community for 37 years. Which means we’ve been here with your family through many tough moments. From the downturn of the economy in the 80s, to the fires in 2016, the floods in 2020 and a global pandemic. 

What’s next? In terms of obstacles, it’s anyone's guess.

Counselling for depression

Did you know that approximately 8 per cent of adults will experience a major depression at some point in their lives?

Often resulting in social isolation, depression symptoms range from sadness and loss of interest in activities to feelings of worthlessness and difficulty concentrating.

Depression is treatable. Our counsellors can help you identify the cause of depression and help you learn coping strategies to overcome isolation.
