GENERAL RESOURCES LIST
We know that finding the support you need can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re not sure where to begin.
Below is a general list of resources for Halifax, Dartmouth, and the wider HRM area that community members may find helpful. While It isn’t exhaustive, we hope it can serve as a starting point.
If you know of another service or program that should be included, please feel free to share it with us. We’d be happy to add it.
