WELCOME TO THE MICA'S CAREGIVER RESOURCES

NO ONE WALKS ALONE, WE WALK WITH YOU

         



As a Caregiver, you and those you care for are not alone!

As caregivers, we do what we can to better understand the mental illness that
will have a lasting and profound impact on our family member. Our journey begins
with the onset of the illness and continues as we do whatever is possible to
ensure positive treatment outcomes and recovery. Visit this space to learn about
organizations that provide support and services to caregivers and their loved
ones living with mental illness in the Ottawa region and beyond. We’ll feature a
new organization every week throughout our 20-day celebration.

THE EMBRACE PROJECT

THE EMBRACE PROJECT: FROM “PATIENT CENTERED CARE” TO “PATIENT AND FAMILY
CENTERED CARE” —A CULTURE CHANGE HAS BEGUN!

The Embrace Project was an initiative of the Cornwall Community Addiction and
Mental Health Services and the Cornwall and District Family Support Group,
funded by The Change Foundation. It focused on engaging family members in the
circle of care for mental illness and addiction by improving their interactions
with the health care providers who treat and counsel their loved ones.

Read More ...

MICA actively supported the project and our President served as Co-Chair of its
Advisory Committee. The focus on engaging family caregivers in the treatment,
rehabilitation, and recovery of loved ones living with mental illness and
addiction was a natural fit with MICA’s mission.

Over the course of three years, family caregivers—including young people—shared
their stories and co-designed a wide array of materials to support those caring
for someone who lives with mental illness and/or addiction. The project’s legacy
is a culture change in the way families are included as members of the addiction
and mental health care team and a set of physical and online resources that
provide caregivers with information and tools to help them navigate the
addiction treatment and mental health systems:

A PHYSICAL SPACE—THE FAMILY CAREGIVER RESOURCE CENTRE

The Family Caregiver Centre, located in the Cornwall Community Hospital, serves
the needs of caregivers across Cornwall, Stormont, Dundas, Glengarry and
Akwesasne, Ontario—whether they are looking for information or just some
respite. It gives them somewhere to meet other caregivers and share what they
have in common, while reducing the stigma associated with mental illness. The
centre is staffed by trained volunteers who have experience navigating their own
caregiving journey. Learn more here

A VIRTUAL SPACE—THE EMBRACE RESOURCE HUB

The online Embrace Resource Hub provides a wide range of tools and resources for
caregivers (including some specifically for young carers), and for health
professionals, as well as links to other organizations that can help. Although
the website is designed to meet the unique needs of family caregivers in the
Cornwall area, the resources will also be useful to those living in other
communities. Visit the resource hub here.

MICA remains committed to doing what we can to support the virtual Embrace
Resource Hub and the Family Caregiver Centre as they evolve and as we all
continue to share lessons learned in response to the changing needs of the
addiction and mental health community.




THE OASIS IN KANATA

“A PLACE FOR CAREGIVERS OF PEOPLE LIVING WITH MENTAL ILLNESS”

The Oasis in Kanata is a community outreach program of Glen Cairn United Church
that offers information, education, and support for caregivers of persons living
with mental illness in Kanata and the surrounding area. It features the
following:

Information sessions that are free and open to all, given by expert speakers on
topics such as communication, finance, self-care, suicide prevention, and crisis
planning.

Workshops and courses developed by organizations such as the Schizophrenia
Society, the Canadian Mental Health Association, the Ottawa Hospital, and the
Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre. Pre-registration is required.

Caregivers Matter, a caregiver support group that meets monthly in a
confidential, small-group setting. The group is facilitated by a mental health
professional and trained volunteers, giving caregivers information, support, and
hope through shared experience

COUNSELLING CONNECT

“One door to access counselling services with 13 organizations means people get
the help they need”

As a result of COVID-19, emergency departments and clinics have temporarily shut
their doors to walk-in patients. The total volume of visitors to the emergency
departments of Ottawa hospitals has been reduced by 50 per cent, including those
seeking urgent care for mental health and substance abuse. As a result, there is
a critical need for quick and easy access to counselling for people of all
ages—to address stress, anxiety, substance use, gambling, relationships,
adjusting to life in Canada and more.

However, while those doors have closed for the time being, another one has
opened online. Counselling Connect provides a streamlined, online portal for
mental health services that links people with the help they need and simplifies
the often-difficult task of navigating mental health services. Although
in-office counselling is not possible during the pandemic, all services are
available online and caring teams are there to help.

Developed with support from the Ottawa Health Team-Équipe Santé Ottawa, the
website makes it easy to schedule a same-day or next-day counselling session by
phone or video with one of 13 community agencies* providing mental health and
addiction counselling. Children, youth, adults and families can now easily book
a phone or video appointment with the service that is right for them. Visit
Counselling Connect

*The 13 agencies are: Canadian Mental Health Association Ottawa, Crossroads
Children's Mental Health Centre, Centretown Community Health Centre, Le Cap,
Distress Centre of Ottawa and Region, Family Services Ottawa, Jewish Family
Services, Ottawa Community Immigrant Services Organization, Rideauwood Addiction
and Family Services, Sandy Hill Community Health Centre, Somerset West Community
Health Centre, The Walk-in Counselling Clinic, and Youth Services Bureau.

FAMHAS FOUNDATION

“FREE COUNSELLING FOR THE AFRICAN, CARIBBEAN, BLACK COMMUNITY”

The FAMHAS Foundation was created in honour of Fabiola Philippe, who suffered
from addiction and mental health problems. Knowing all too well the pain,
confusion, and loss that can come with addiction and mental illness, her loved
ones decided to launch Fabiola’s Addiction and Mental Health Awareness & Support
Foundation on November 30th, 2018, to commemorate what would have been her 36th
birthday. This Foundation’s hope is to eliminate the stigmas associated with
this illness within the black community.

In collaboration with the Canadian Red Cross and the Canadian Government, FAMHAS
has officially launched its ACB support program. We are working with multiple
black mental health service providers to offer 2 hours of free counselling
services to the ACB (African, Caribbean, Black) Community. These Services are
available for those who are having a hard time and are struggling with
depression, anxiety, or other mental health crises. This service will run until
November 30th, 2020.

We hope to introduce therapy to many members of the ACB community who would
otherwise consider this option as a tool for healing. We know there is much more
to be done but this is a first step in the right direction.

Getting the help you need is as easy as:

1: Visit https://famhas.ca/counselling/

2: Select the service needed

3: We connect you with a professional

NAMI FAMILY-TO-FAMILY PROGRAMS, ONTARIO

“FAMILIES HELPING FAMILIES”

At NAMI Family-to-Family Programs, Ontario, we understand what it's like for
families coping today with the challenges of a loved one experiencing a mental
health condition or mental illness. We know that you’re looking for the one
thing that’s going to make a difference in helping you support your loved one.
We understand because we’re family members and we’ve been there too. We want you
to know that you’re not alone, we can help.

Working with various agencies, we offer three educational courses in select
cities in Ontario and in the Montreal West Island area, and connect you to
resources near you. There is no fee to attend and the materials are provided at
no cost to you. These are the courses we offer:

The NAMI Family-to-Family Education Course is an 8-week course for family
caregivers of adults experiencing a mental health condition or mental illness.

The NAMI Provider Education Course is a 15-hour course for health care
professionals and others who, as part of their work, interact directly with
individuals with a mental illness.

We’re really excited about the NAMI Basics Education Course, our newest
addition. It’s a 6-week course for parents and other caregivers of children and
adolescents experiencing mental health symptoms. Recently introduced, it is
still in a pilot phase in Sarnia. After COVID and when it’s safe to return to
meet in person, we will proceed with our plan to train teachers to bring this
wonderful course throughout the province.

To learn more about theses courses and what we do, visit our website at
f2fontario.ca. If you are dealing with a loved one with a mental health
condition, do seek out the supports you need and know that we are there for you.
In the meantime, stay safe and healthy.
