Mental health help available

Through a grant from the Langley Mental Health Community Advisory Committee, the Langley Family Support and Resource Program is able to provide support and resources in Langley and Aldergrove.

Help exists in the area of emergency services, community resources, advocacy/assistance, and housing as well as helping family members navigate the Mental Health and Substance Use system to access these resources.

Local mental health advocate Renee Poley said that the Langley Mental Health community organization provides a listening ear, with compassion and understanding, to those families who have a member suffering from a mental health concern.

The group educates families about mental health and substance use issues and encourages them to become involved in family support groups, mental health education programs, and to take part in information sessions offered by Fraser Health, the provincial government and community agencies.
