Are you caring for a child, youth or dependent adult up to age 25 who has mental health or substance use issues? A Family Navigator can help you find your way through the system and get community supports in the BC Interior. ▸ The Family Navigator: • Listens to your concerns and looks at your needs • Gives you information about services • Teaches about mental health, substance use, self-care, coping and communication • Helps you connect with community resources ▸ How do I get this? Call 1-844-234-6663 or email family.navigation@cmhakelowna.org. Include your name, your child's age, how you are related, why you are reaching out, and if it is okay to leave a voicemail. The Navigator replies within 48 hours. If it fits, they may do a caregiver assessment with you in person or online. ▸ Take a Break groups: Take a Break is a support group for parents and caregivers. It runs at 8 CMHA branches in the BC Interior. In Kelowna, it runs out of Foundry Kelowna. Contact your closest branch for dates and times. ▸ Good to know: This is not a crisis service.
