McMaster University has launched the CanEMERG website to help people navigate to mental health resources when they are faced with traumatic incidents such as wildfires and floods. The CanEMERG website includes information, toolkits, and other supports that help Canadians assess their current mental health and navigate to publicly available mental health resources that they can use to manage their responses to stress and trauma. “Most people aren’t trained on how to respond to a traumatic incident,” said McMaster Professor Margaret McKinnon. “What we’re trying to do here is help people understand what common responses to trauma looks like and how to deal with it.”
