Let’s start a conversation that could save a life.
Depression is all too common — and too often silent. Together, we can break the stigma, spark real conversations, and guide people toward support.
By partnering with us, you’ll help spread the word about a simple anonymous online mental health check-in at areyoufeelingok.com.
This could be the lifeline someone needs. Let’s make sure Albertans know it’s there.
What we’re asking:
Partner with us to raise awareness across Alberta. You’ll receive our partner toolkit, including:
Ready‑to‑share content (social posts, images, sample text)
Printable posters for offices, schools, and community centres
Email and newsletter templates to reach your audience
How it works:
Sign up to become a partner—no cost, no hassle.
Use our toolkit or customize your own materials.
Share online, in print, or at events.
Help Albertans take the first step to find help.
Thank you for being a voice that could save a life.
Depression is treatable
We focus on depression because it affects one in five people at some point in their lives. It's the leading cause of suffering and disability worldwide. Given that there is effective and reliable treatment, the problem is not how prevalent depression is but rather that less than half of those with depression seek treatment.
Feeling better is within everyone’s reach. Anyone can learn the skills to feel better, one step at a time.
How can this simple quiz help?
When you’re feeling down, anxious, not yourself, it can be difficult to take action and it may seem impossible to overcome these feelings.
But taking one simple step can move someone that’s struggling in the direction of learning the skills needed to tackle these feelings. The NDSD quiz has proven to be that easy, first step towards feeling better.

¹ The screening test does not attempt to offer a diagnosis but points out to participants the presence or absence of depressive symptoms and offers a referral for further evaluation if needed. Individuals can then seek further evaluation with their preferred provider.
