Vegreville's projects aim to improve wellbeing, reduce social isolation, and create ongoing connections and supports.
Mental health is a critical aspect of overall wellbeing, and every individual and community face challenges that impact their mental health at various stages of life. Vegreville's projects address those life stages as identified by their community.
Their project brings together new mental health initiatives, including programs like "Mom's in Motion", "Power Up for Youth!" and initiatives focusing on nutrition, seniors and newcomers' integration. This integrated approach will foster mental wellness by focusing not only on mental health services but also on improving the broader community environment through education, connection, and positive behavioural practices.
Creating mentally healthy communities in Vegreville requires more than just formal mental health services. It involves fostering environments at the grassroots level where individuals are involved in addressing these needs and feel supported in their daily lives. By addressing upstream factors such as nutrition, physical activity, and social connection, they will foster long-term positive change.
