Helping people deal with the economy is becoming the focus for mental health workers in the Rainy River District.

This week is Mental Health Week in Canada. Educator-trainer for the Canadian Mental Health Association in Fort Frances, Nancy Daley says its important to take care of yourself.

"Stress is a huge impactor on health on many, many way," says Daley, "physical and mental, emotional and spiritual. It really takes its toll if its not taken care off. The best thing to do is to keep people informed. If people know what's going on, know what to expect, they can handle it better."

Daley says the association offers a variety of information and services for workers and their employers to access.
