It's that time of year when Calgary Counselling Centre and Counselling Alberta remind people to take a moment for their mental health. From October 6 to 12, they're offering a free, anonymous online quiz that helps people assess how they're doing and find support if they need it. The tool is available in six languages at areyoufeelingok.com and works on any device.

One in five Canadians will experience depression in any given year, according to the Canadian Mental Health Association. Dr. Robbie Babins-Wagner, CEO of Calgary Counselling Centre and Counselling Alberta, says the quiz gives people a simple, confidential way to check in with themselves—even if they're not sure something's wrong. It's designed to break down barriers and connect people with help when they need it most.

This week, several free events are happening, including an online program tonight at 6:30 p.m. about understanding the hidden signs of depression in men. On Thursday, October 9, there's an online session at 6:30 p.m. with resources for parents and caregivers supporting kids' mental health, and a lunch event with the Calgary Chamber of Commerce at 11:30 a.m. featuring keynote speaker Joelle Tomlinson. The campaign started in Calgary 20 years ago and has since grown across Alberta.
