Youth Mental Health Navigation

The AHS Addictions & Mental Health team, along with other national and provincial health and wellness organizations, offers a great deal of support to children and youth in our region. The health care system can be an overwhelming experience for children, youth and their families, especially when they are in a crisis situation. It can be difficult for families to obtain help for their children when they are not aware of what resources are available to them.

Celebrating a Child

Dawn Booth is a familiar face around Fort McMurray as the Editor-in-Chief of the local news publication, snapd Wood Buffalo. Dawn and husband Ryan Booth have purchased not one, but two memorials for both of their children since the wall was erected.
