Wellness Resources
Are you or someone you know suffering from an addiction? Homelessness? Food insecurities? Mental health issues? There is someone nearby who can help.
Humboldt is known for it’s strength and resilience, and that reputation comes largely from our neighbours, our friends and the community support organizations that are just a call away … or just a few steps ahead.
It sometimes may be difficult to know where to turn. That’s why the City of Humboldt and our community support services have all come together to build this resource page so that most of the contact information you may need is all in one place.
Below you will find links and phone numbers of those who are ready to lend you a helping hand, or even just a shoulder to lean on, regardless of your need or needs.
HELP LINES
For your convenience, the table below can be sorted and searched.
Addictions
St. John Ambulance is an international humanitarian organization and is a foundation of the Order of St. John. Their site provides valuable resources and information on training in areas of recognizing opioid poisoning, harm reduction, and where to find a nasal Naloxone Kit.
The Province of Saskatchewan has launched a public awareness campaign entitled “There is help. There is hope.” The campaign is intended to help address the stigma often experienced by those facing mental health and addictions issues.
You can listen to messages of hope and recovery from people who have personally struggled with the same issues you or someone you know may be going through right now.

Emergency Services
In any emergency situation, call 9-1-1 immediately.
All too often, when something bad happens, we spend hours or days looking back on the situation and wondering, “What could I have done? What should I have done that could have prevented this from happening?”
This is especially true when it comes to a mental health crisis involving someone we care about. Loved ones can be especially hard on themselves, asking why they didn’t see it coming, why they didn’t do something, why they reacted a certain way. It can be overwhelming, confusing and frustrating for everyone involved.
When someone in your life has a mental health condition, the possibility of a crisis is never far away. A crisis can arise even when the individual is receiving good care, following the treatment plan carefully, and taking medications as prescribed.
As a loved one, it’s important for you to know that you are not alone; there are people available to help you and your loved one; and it’s not your fault if a crisis occurs.
In the video below, Derek Dagenais from Humboldt & District Ambulance Service talks about when to call 9-1-1 during a mental health crisis. Know that you can reach out when you need help.

Spiritual Care
Healthcare involves treating the whole person. Spiritual wellbeing can help improve health and quality of life. Spiritual care attends to a person’s spiritual or religious needs as he or she copes with addictions, mental health issues, physical illness, loss, or grief. Pain can come in many forms. Spiritual care can help you or someone you know heal emotionally as well as physically, rebuild relationships and regain a sense of spiritual wellbeing.
