We All Need A Little Help Sometimes

As we continue to navigate the ongoing COVID pandemic as well as workplace disruptions (like layoffs related to the global semi-conductor shortage), it’s safe to assume that some of our members are experiencing financial strain, increased stress and uncertainty about the future. It is important to know that help is available and that there are community resources that can provide you support. Our partners at United Way Niagara have worked with us to create a resource list of some of the programs that may be beneficial to you and your families at this time. Check out the list below as well as the guide “What to do when the paycheque stops” to see if there is some information you can use.

If you have any questions regarding these or other community resources – please reach out. Let me help you navigate and work through your concerns. If you are seeking support related to mental health concerns, I can also help get you connected with resources regardless of if you have benefit coverage or not. Call or text 289-228-5967, email jessica.mccourt@gm.com
