HEALTH CANADA COMMISSIONS BREAKING FREE GROUP TO SUPPORT CANADIANS DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC

November 2020

Breaking Free Group has been commissioned by Health Canada to develop a two-stage preventative digital intervention in both official languages to increase the wellness of people in the general Canadian population whose difficulties with alcohol or drugs could potentially escalate to problematic levels.

Canadians can now access a website via the Wellness Together Canada Portal that contains a set of engagement resources. They are then directed to the Breaking Free: Wellness App, which is available for both iOS and Android devices.

Through both the website and app, people can also access All People All Pathways Breaking Free: Wellness peer support groups, which are being provided each week by the Community Addictions Peer Support Association.
