AbilitiCBT is an internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy (iCBT) program that you can access from any device, any time. Cognitive behavioral therapy is one of the most effective forms of therapy.

AbilitiCBT works the same way, but online. AbilitiCBT’s user-friendly platform makes it convenient to get help when you need it, where you need it.
Our AbilitiCBT offering includes a special program to help you address anxiety symptoms related to the uniquely challenging aspects of pandemics: uncertainty, isolation, caring for family and community members, information overload and stress management.

A Resource Guide for Canadian Homeless Youth
The longer youth are homeless, the more they’re exposed to the risks of economic and sexual exploitation and the more likely they are to experience trauma, declining physical and mental health and addictions.
It’s essential that youth experiencing homelessness in Canada get support beyond having a place to stay. For those who shared their lives in CBC’s Red Button, reaching their goals means overcoming many challenges.
If you’re a young person seeking help, in the link are some resources that can be accessed. Many helplines listed are confidential and free, with referrals made at the provider’s discretion.
Addictions & Mental Health Ontario (AMHO) is committed to building a strong system of addictions and mental health care for Ontarians.
This commitment is rooted in the experiences of people they see every day who lead full, healthy lives because they found the help they needed.
