We know you're going through a hard time and things are beyond your control. We know you're worried. So, here's some information to help you get the advice and support you need.
Get informed

A lot of health problems can be treated at home, without a doctor. To make sure you're doing the right thing, find out more about your symptoms and the treatments available to you.

Find accurate information

You need to be careful when looking up health information on the Internet.

Make sure you consult credible, trustworthy sites. Here are a few suggestions:
Portail santé Québec
Public Health Agency of Canada

An online decision-making aid

If you have a health problem or a specific need (e.g., prescription renewal), you can consult the online Primary Care Access Point (GAP) for advice related to your situation, need or symptoms.

You'll answer simple questions online, and based on your answers, you'll be told which resource or health professional to consult. If your problem can be safely managed at home, you will be given advice.

Visit https://gap.soinsvirtuels.gouv.qc.ca/en

Fiches - What should I do about my health problem?

Do you have a health problem and don't know where to start? Considering a trip to the emergency room?

Start by consulting the What to do with my health problem fact sheets. You'll find 16 information sheets on common health problems such as cuts, sprains, aches and pains, urinary tract infections and much more.

Consult the fact sheets (french only)

Get advice

If you're worried about your health, qualified health professionals are available to answer your questions, give you advice, listen to you and reassure you.

With their help, you may be able to manage certain health problems at home. Don't hesitate to consult them!

Call Info-Santé (811, option 1)

You can explain your problem to a nurse, confidentially and free of charge.

The nurse will answer your questions and give you advice on how to safely manage your health problem at home. They may also give you a list of signs and symptoms to watch for.

Did you know only 10% of calls to 811 end with a recommendation to go to the Emergency department?

If you need an outside opinion, the nurse will refer you to the best place. Not all health problems need to be seen by a doctor.
The service is available 24/7, 365 days a year.

Talk to a pharmacist

Pharmacists are medication experts, front-line health professionals who can help you treat minor health problems, initiate preventive treatments, and advise you on the proper medication use and healthy lifestyle habits.

Onsite prescriptions
If your pharmacist thinks it's necessary, they can prescribe medication for certain minor health problems or initiate preventive treatment.
For example, they can write prescriptions for the following (some conditions apply; talk to your pharmacist for details):

Smoking cessation products

Hormonal birth control methods

Emergency oral contraception

Traveller's diarrhea, malaria and acute mountain sickness prophylaxis

Lyme disease prophylaxis, following a tick bite

Nausea and vomiting

Perinatal vitamins

Indigestion and acid reflux

Head lice

Shingles

And much more!

Advice on over-the-counter medications (on the shelves)
If you're not sure what medication to take for your symptoms, ask your pharmacist! They can give you advice on how to treat different health problems including:

Seasonal allergies (allergic rhinitis)

Allergic conjunctivitis

Cold sores (oral herpes)

Mouth ulcers (canker sores)

Muscle pain

Cold and flu

Constipation

And much more!

Don't hesitate to consult them. Pharmacists are health professionals who are standing by to help you.

They can also advise you on possible interactions between over-the-counter products and the medications prescribed by your doctor.

In addition to extending prescriptions, pharmacists can also adjust a doctor's prescription if they notice any safety or efficacy issues. In some cases, they may even order lab tests to check how a medication is working. Finally, some pharmacists may also prescribe and administer vaccines.

Mental health problems and difficult family situations

If you're going through a hard time, you don't need to do it alone. Help and support are available. Health professionals will listen to your problems, give you advice, or refer you to someone who can help.

Call Info-Social (811, option 2)

You'll be able to talk to a psychosocial worker, confidentially and free of charge.
The professionals at Info-Social are qualified to give you advice and answer your questions. They can also suggest ways to improve your condition and monitor your progress.

As needed, they'll refer you to services or resources in the community.

Here are some reasons why you might call Info-Social (811, option 2):

You're going through a situation that's causing you anxiety.

You're worried about a friend or a family member.

You're having family or relationship problems.

You're going through a bereavement.

You're worried about a specific situation or behaviour.

The service is available 24/7, 365 days a year.
You can call Info-Social for yourself or for a loved one.

If you're thinking about suicide or worried a loved one might be, you need to seek help; don't try to handle the situation alone. Call the Centre de prévention du suicide at 1-866-277-3553 or visit suicide.ca.

Call the mental health and psychosocial services desk at your local CLSC for an adult or a minor.

The CLSCs have teams in place to get you the help you need quickly. After evaluating your problem, they will refer you to services or resources in your area (for children, teens or adults).

Mobile outreach clinic

Housed in a motorhome, this clinic brings together a paramedical technician and a nurse clinician. The Clinique mobile offers consultations in the Haut-Richelieu-Rouville region from May to November.

You decide to go to the Emergency department

If you have an urgent health problem, it's important you go to the Emergency department, where you'll be seen quickly. In the Emergency department, critical or unstable cases are seen first.

Find out more

If you decide to go to the Emergency department for a non-urgent health problem, you should expect to wait several hours. Remember to bring everything you'll need to help pass the time (medication, water, snacks, cell phone charger, diapers for children, etc.).

The wait time depends on a number of different factors.

Triage: assessing your health condition
In triage, a nurse will assess your health condition and decide how soon you need to see a doctor. They will assign you a priority code.

Patients are not seen in the order they arrive. People who arrive after you may see the doctor first, if the triage nurse evaluates their condition is more urgent or unstable than yours.

You need/decide to call an ambulance

If you need help fast for an urgent health problem, you should call 911.

Find out more

Examples of situations that require calling 911:

A person's life is in danger.

A person's health is at risk.

A person is in distress.

You witness a serious accident or a crime.

A person needs to be transported by ambulance.

A person needs immediate assistance from a hospital Emergency department.

When you call:

1. An operator will ask you questions to determine the urgency of the situation. They will also ask you for the address of the emergency.

2. They will contact the appropriate emergency services (police, fire, paramedics).

3. First responders will travel to the scene.
The 911 operator will probably give you some instructions while you wait for help. Stay on the line until they have finished asking their questions and giving instructions. Do not hang up until the operator says you can.

There are many misconceptions about ambulances. Did you know?

If you call 911, the operator may recommend you use an alternate form of transportation to get to the hospital. They may suggest you drive with a family member, take a taxi or call paratransit. If they recommend this option, it's because they feel it's safe in your condition. Ambulances need to be available for the most urgent calls.

When the paramedics arrive at your home, they are not required to transport you to the Emergency department. After speaking with a nurse, they can refer you to a resource that's more appropriate for your condition.

If you arrive at the hospital by ambulance, you will not automatically see a doctor faster. When you arrive at the hospital, a triage nurse will assess your health condition, just like every other person who arrives at the Emergency department. The nurse will then assign you a priority code to see the doctor. If your situation is not a priority, you will wait in the waiting room.

Ambulance rides aren't always free! Usually, people age 65 and over do not pay. However, if the emergency doctor decides your situation didn't require an ambulance ride, you will be billed.

Home support paramedicine: a safe resource, tailored to your situation

If you're 50 or over and call 911, the operator may suggest a home support paramedicine visit. If they recommend this option, it's because they feel it's safe in your condition.

If you agree, home support paramedicine workers will visit your home. They will assess your situation and call a home care nurse to determine the type of care you need and how long you can wait to receive it. They can also provide the care you need to avoid a trip to the Emergency department. They will take care of all the details to make sure you get quick access to the services you need.

Within 24 hours of the paramedic's visit, a home care nurse will visit you.

Government of Canada/ Stop Family Violence: How to plan for your safety if you are in an abusive relationship

# data[].attributes.subject
Government of Canada/ Stop Family Violence: How to plan for your safety if you are in an abusive relationship

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
It's important to make a plan to keep you and your children safe. Ask someone you trust to help you, or contact local services.

Even if you're not planning to leave the relationship, a safety plan can help if the abuse gets worse. You may need to leave in a hurry. Take actions that make sense for you and are safe for you and your children.

5 steps to make your safety plan

1. Do your research

2. Decide how you can leave quickly or stay safely

3. Talk to your children

4. Gather important items

5. Be careful about your computer

1. Do your research

Talk to family, friends or a trusted professional who can help you make plans.

Get legal advice about your rights.

Find services in your area, such as shelters and financial aid.

2. Decide how you can leave quickly or stay safely

If you stay: Tips to live more safely

Tell someone you trust about the abuse.

Think about your partner's past use and level of force. This will help you predict danger and decide when to leave.

Create a plan to get out of your home safely and practice it with your children.

Choose the closest place to call for help, such as a coffee shop or neighbour's house.

Decide where you will go (for example, a friend's house or local shelter, safe home or transition house) and how you will get there.

Ask your neighbours, friends and family to call the police if they hear abuse and to look after your children in an emergency.

Park your car by backing it into the driveway. Keep it fuelled.

Hide your keys, cell phone and some money near your escape route.

Have a list of phone numbers to call for help.

Your local shelter or police may be able to equip you with a panic button or cell phone.

Make sure all weapons and ammunition are hidden or removed from your home.

In an emergency

If an argument is developing, move to a space where you can get outside easily, such as near a door or window.

During a violent episode, avoid rooms where you could be trapped, or where there are weapons, such as knives, that could be used against you.

If you are injured, go to a doctor or an emergency room and tell them what happened to you. Ask them to document your visit.

If you are being hurt, protect your face with your arms around each side of your head, with your fingers locked together. Don't wear scarves or long jewelry.

If you are planning to leave (non-emergency)

Contact a local women's shelter (even if they are unable to take in abused men, women's shelters usually have information to help all victims of abuse). Let them know that you plan to leave an abusive situation and ask for support in safety planning.

Consider contacting the police. Ask for an officer who specializes in partner abuse cases.

Gather important documents and personal items.

Consult a lawyer. Keep any evidence of physical abuse, such as photos. Keep a journal of all violent incidents, noting dates, events, threats and any witnesses.

Arrange with someone to care for your pets temporarily, until you get settled. A shelter may help with this.

Clear your phone of the last number you called to avoid the abuser using redial.

Clear your computer.

As you leave

Request a police escort or ask a friend, neighbour or family member to accompany you when you leave.

Do not tell your partner you are leaving.

Leave quickly.

Have a back-up plan if your partner finds out where you are going.

After leaving

If you are staying in the home, change the locks and get an unlisted phone number and caller ID.

Block your number when calling out.

Change your passwords.

Consider applying for a restraining order or peace bond to help keep your partner away from you and your children. Keep it with you at all times.

Provide police with a copy of any legal orders you have.

Consider changing any service provider that you share with your ex-partner.

Carry a photo of the abuser and your children with you in case of emergencies.

Consider telling your supervisor at work about your situation.

Think about places and patterns that your ex-partner will know about and try to change them. For example, consider using a different grocery store.

If you feel unsafe walking alone, ask a neighbour, friend or family member to accompany you.

If you have moved out, do not return to the home unless accompanied by the police. Never confront the abuser.

3. Talk to your children

In advance

Tell your children that abuse is never right, even when someone they love is being abusive.

Tell them the abuse isn't your fault or their fault; they did not cause it, and neither did you.

Teach them that it's important to keep safe when there is abuse.

Teach your children how to get help. Tell them not to get between you and your partner if there is violence.

Create a plan to get out of your home safely and practice it with your children.

Together, pick a safe place in the house where they can hide if the violence starts, ideally with a locked door and a phone.

Agree on a code word so they will know when to call for help.

In an emergency

Teach children how to call the police and stay on the phone until the police arrive.

Have them practice saying their full name and address, and tell them what to say about the violence.

Don't run to the children, as your partner may hurt them as well.

Pick a safe place to meet outside so that you can easily find each other.

4. Gather important items

Government documents (originals or copies)

birth certificates

social insurance card

driver's license

health cards

passports

court orders

immigration papers or treaty cards

Financial items

mortgage or lease

information about loans or assets

cash

credit cards

debit cards

cheques

Personal items

important phone numbers (friends, services, shelters)

keys

phone

medications (or a list if you don't have time to gather them)

other items, such as:

If you can't keep some of your documents in your home for fear your partner will find them, consider making copies and leaving them with someone you trust. Your local women's shelter will also keep them for you. If you have children, tell their school or day care centre about the situation and give them copies of all relevant documents.

5. Be careful about your computer

Computers keep a record of the places you visit on the internet and the emails you send. There is no sure way to delete all this information.

An abuser can monitor your online activity and history. Use a computer at work, a friend's house, or the library.

Log out after using a computer and clear your browser history.

Never share your passwords.

Social media (Facebook, Twitter, etc.) can be particularly risky:

don't use your own name or post personal information

update your privacy settings

consider closing your accounts

How to clear your browser
Your computer contains critical information which could put you in danger. Here are general guidelines for removing information from the browser history:
Internet Explorer:

Go to "Tools" at the top of screen and select "Delete Browsing History".
Firefox:

Therapy can be an important tool for people who are struggling with mental health problems or illnesses. As awareness increases around mental health issues, the demand for therapists is increasing. It can be difficult to find a therapist. Here are some helpful tips.

If you are looking for help through the public sector, like the CLSC, most likely you will be put on a waiting list before you receive help. Although help is not immediate, it's worth putting your name on the list. Think of it as being one step closer to finding a therapist. In the meantime, you can contact other resources, like community mental health organizations.

If you are a student at a CEGEP or a university, you can contact your counselling department and request follow-up services. They often are limited in the number of sessions they provide. Visit amiquebec.org/students for a list of resources.

If you are employed, find out if your group insurance includes coverage for psychology and/ or psychotherapy, and how much coverage you have per year. They may help you find a therapist, assign a therapist to you, or pay for a therapist of your choice. Keep in mind that you may be covered under your spouse's insurance for psychology or psychotherapy services.

Some people have the means to consult a therapist working in private practice. Since Covid-19 many therapists have been offering services online and will continue to do so, while others may return to offering in-office services.

We have some resources listed on our website under Counselling and Therapy. Visit amiquebec.org/therapy. You can also consult the Order of Psychologists of Quebec, Google "psychologists" or "psychotherapists" in your area, or ask someone you trust if they have a recommendation.
Finding a good fit
It is important to have a good fit. It is your mental health, so take the time to find someone that you feel comfortable with and that responds to your questions. Here are some things to consider before engaging in a therapeutic process:

What is your intention? What do you want to work on in therapy?

Choose carefully. It is a big ocean out there when it comes to psychological help. Not all therapists are created equal, so you should verify that they are a member of a professional order or have a permit to practice psychotherapy.

Ask the therapist questions that will inform your decision, such as their background and training, how successful they are in helping people with the issues you are dealing with. Is it short-term or longer-term therapy? What is their approach (for example, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR for Trauma and PTSD), etc.).

You have the option of working with a professional online, so your choice of therapist is not limited to where you live.

Give it a try before committing to working with the person.

There are also e-therapy services, which often use a CBT approach. This can be good for people who want to do the work on their own with some input from an e-therapist.

Finally, if you are someone who prefers to work on your own, you may be interested in checking out our Top Free Mental Health Apps list: amiquebec.org/free-mental-health-apps.

A problem youth can't always solve on their own

Bullying is a power struggle that is difficult to resolve without the help of an adult. In most cases, it requires only a few minutes of intervention to stop, especially if adults act immediately and in a consistent manner. If you are present when bullying occurs, talk to those who are being aggressive. Explain the hurt they are causing and have them make amends to those who were harmed. This can break the cycle.

Listen - and take it seriously even if it seems trivial, such as name-calling. Youth usually go to adults with these problems only as a last resort. In a very small number of cases, bullying behaviour is a chronic problem requiring the involvement of families and the assistance of a health professional.

What else can you do?
Parents and guardians:

Talk, talk, talk. Don't wait for your child to come to you, bring up the conversation about bullying if you suspect or see/hear something.

Talk to the adults who were in charge when the bullying occurred to find ways to remedy the problem and prevent future situations.

If presented with the opportunity, confront the child, teen or group guilty of bullying and explain to them the hurt they cause.

Stop any bullying behaviour at home, because consistency matters.

Adults responsible for young people (such as teachers, principals, coaches and other leaders)

Be aware of the social interactions in your group of children - separate youth who tend to have negative interactions with others.

Place left-out youth in groups where they will be accepted - try to avoid situations that will victimize at-risk youth (for example, don't have peers pick group partners or teams).

Support other adults who work directly with youth to end bullying - by enforcing the separation of disruptive teens, increasing supervision in bullying hotspots and placing vulnerable youth in positive groups.

Did you know...

Anti-bullying policies
Leaders of organizations responsible for young people can create anti-bullying policies that clearly set the limits on acceptable behaviour. Include meaningful consequences in the policy to help teach aggressive youth healthier ways of interacting. Allow time for the policy to be reviewed and agreed upon by everyone (including teens), and ensure the policy is consistently and universally applied by all involved.

Si je n'avais pas pris la décision d'aller chercher de l'aide, je ne serais pas en train de vous écrire pour vous dire que ma vie est belle. Un homme qui a le courage de se confier s'aide lui-même, mais aussi les autres hommes en plus de rendre service aux femmes, aux enfants et à toute la communauté."
