Additional Free Health Supports

Our wellness website, It Takes a Village, is an information hub for other mental health supports provided by organizations like the Canadian Mental Health Association.
Prescription Medication
Pharmacies across Alberta are ready to assist those who do not have their required medication(s) or enough of them due to evacuation. Please visit the nearest pharmacy and explain your situation. Pharmacists will assess your needs and consult with your primary pharmacist and/or health care provider, when possible, to confirm your prescription.

Monitoring Air Quality
Deteriorating air quality can have negative effects on your health. Check air quality indexes in your area and reduce time spent outdoors when pollution levels are high. If you must go outside, consider wearing a mask, such as N95 or KN95, which have better filtration capabilities. Keep your indoor air safe by keeping windows and doors closed, running air conditioning on a recirculate setting, or using an air purifier*.
As a member of ASEBP, our commitment to you extends beyond our benefit offerings. If we can help you and your family during this difficult time, please contact our office toll free at 1-877-431-4545.
