Did you know that all of CABA’s free services are available to your close family members, too? If a loved one is struggling with their mental wellbeing, they can access our confidential, professional support. It can also be something you do together. If you’re supporting a child or partner with mental health challenges, or you’re concerned about the impact on your relationships, you could benefit from family or couple’s support.
Social connection and strong relationships with friends and family are essential to our mental wellbeing. We can help you build and strengthen those relationships, so you can take care of each other.
