Are all of the programs and services in the listings on the Work Well NL website specifically for people with a mental illness?

No. The services and resources on Work Well NL can support people in general who may be looking for information and direction in these areas, or who are facing barriers to finishing or pursuing education, and/or finding and maintaining employment. Mental illness or mental health issues can pose barriers for some people, but not all people with mental illness need or are interested in support in these areas. However, there are some programs and services which are geared specifically toward people with mental illness.


Why do some organizations not have listings on this site?

At the time of launching the website, some organizations had not responded to our requests for information. We have tried to collect as much information on related programs and services from all throughout the province, but at this time, there may be some programs and services missing, or only limited details for other listings. There were also some organizations who were not identified during the early phases of the information collection process, but we are now working on getting their information for the website.

You can request a change or an update by filling out  and submitting our Add or Change Listing Request Form. Someone will then be in touch with you to verify your request.


Why are there only a few programs or services listed in my region of the province?

There are a couple of reasons: some regions of Newfoundland and Labrador may have limited programming in these areas, and some organizations in these regions did not respond to requests for information on their programs and services. Additionally, there were also some organizations who were not identified during the early phases of the information collection process, but we are now working on getting their information for the website.

If you work for an organization in a region of the province not well represented in the Work Well NL listings and have a program or service that you would like to see on this website, please fill out  and submit our Add or Change Listing Request Form.

Education and employment are only two community resources related to good mental health, and living and working well with a mental illness. Why don’t you have information on other things like housing and recreation?

At this time, information on other community resources for promoting good mental health like housing, nutrition, social recreation, life skills, and fitness and are not listed on the Work Well NL website. However, some of the organizations listed on the site may offer these as part of their education and employment programs and services. For example, Stella Burry Community Services offers Community Building Activities for participants of its education, training and employment programs, which you can read more about in their program listings.
