Alberta-based app offering mental-health support to people affected by Russia's invasion of Ukraine

BY The Canadian Press, Mar 23, 2022 10:06 PM - REPORT AN ERROR

An Alberta-based app is offering mental-health support to people affected by Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

The Resilience and Hope for Ukraine program sends messages in four languages, Ukrainian, English, French and Russian.

Anyone with a cellphone can text ``Hope-4-Ukraine'' at 3-9-3-9-3-9 to get a supportive message daily.

The idea was first developed after the Fort McMurray wildfires in 2016, and was rolled out again to help with anxiety over COVID-19 two years ago.
