Mental health support services
A number of different tools and services are available to support your mental health and wellness journey.
Self-help tools
Learn more about your mood and functioning with immediate and self-directed tools. These resources can help you understand yourself better and offer strategies to manage everyday mental health concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, relationship issues and substance use. Need additional support? You can always reach out along the way.

Psychologists and psychotherapists
Psychologists and psychotherapists provide assessment and treatment that is intended to ease an individual’s psychological suffering. They cannot prescribe medication. Quebec’s psychologists and psychotherapists are licensed by the Order of Psychologists of Quebec.
Doctors and psychiatrists
Family doctors and psychiatrists provide clinical assessment, diagnosis, and (if necessary) a prescription and medication management. In many instances, a family doctor can address your clinical needs.
Find a healthcare provider (within Canada)
If you're located in Canada, you can use the Lumino Health search tool to find healthcare providers in your province or territory. Appointments are virtual and/or in-person. Use of the search tool is free, but providers do charge fees for their services.
If you or someone else is experiencing an emergency, dial 9-1-1 or consult our resources.
