"Feeling Grateful and Supported by PCN's Mental Health Program"

About: Chaparral Medical Clinic South Calgary PCN / Time 2 Talk-Mental Health Program

(as a service user),

I walked into my appointment with Theo, feeling depleted,  as circumstances have been beyond my control since fall of 2025, progressively seeming more hopeless.. with each appointment I have been supported, encouraged, lifted up by pointing out strengths that seem out of reach with each passing day. Theo is a wonderful support person in my journey and although I have been preparing to succumb to feelings of being 'done', he has reached out to social worker emphasizing urgency of situation (being homeless, no income, family going through their own stressors, addiction and situation not changing). I hold on for one more day in the hope that there is a different plan for my life for this one does not work anymore. I am forever grateful to doctor, Theo and my friend who has been there each step of the way.
