Pickle Planet Podcast: Atlantic Wellness Centre

October 17, 2019

The numbers are simple, yet startling. One in five youth is affected by mental health illness. Nearly 40% of Moncton-area youth say they are not able to solve problems without harming themselves or others. When our youth need help, many turn to Atlantic Wellness Centre. The non-profit offers free mental health services to youth and their families. Since opening in 2012, more than 1,100 local youth have used the service, which operates on grants, donations, and fundraising events. Executive Director Andrew LeBlanc joins hosts Jenna & Tosh to discuss the centre, how it works, and what help it needs to continue.

To access the centre's mental health call-in clinic on Mondays, call 506-382-9804.
