Mental Health
A healthy mind is the greatest treasure
Mental health includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being.
Life’s circumstances can affect how we think, feel, and act. Your mental state can determine
how you handle stress, relate to others, and make choices. Mental health is important at
every stage of life, from childhood and adolescence through to adulthood
(https://www.mentalhealth.gov).
If you are experiencing any of the concerns below, we can help:
•
•
•
•
Depression
Anxiety or phobias
Managing stress
Grief and loss
•
•
•
•
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
Relationship and communication issues
Self-harm
Domestic violence
An MPCN family doctor can refer you to a mental health therapist to support mild to
moderate emotional or mental health concerns.
We provide one-to-one counselling and group classes, with evening and telephone
appointments available.
“I was so appreciative of having the ability to
speak to someone in my first language, and
someone who actually understood the cultural
nuances that contribute to my mental health. I
had been to other mental health professionals,
but I always felt that there was no real
understanding of what I was going through. My
Mosaic Primary Care Network (MPCN) mental
health therapist came alongside me and adapted
strategies and techniques to my culture to help
support my anxiety and depression.”
The top two reasons patients access mental
health support are for anxiety and depression.
MPCN runs mental health workshops during the
day and in the evenings throughout the year!

“I saw many therapists in the past. I was so tired of
the therapies that would dig into my childhood but
have no real outcome. I really liked the short-term
model of care provided at MPCN because it forced me
and my therapist to be goal focused. I was provided
with concrete strategies to cope with my anxiety.”
