Healthy Seas, Healthy Minds

Mental health is essential for the well-being of Nova Scotia fisherman and in rural communities. At the Nova Scotia Fisheries and Aquaculture Loan Board, we recognize that there are unique challenges in the fishing industry—financial pressures, unpredictable weather, and isolation when on the water. We’re committed to supporting mental wellness by promoting resources that are available to our fisheries and aquaculture industries.

Let’s leave the “tough it out” attitudes behind and strengthen our community through support and understanding.

If you or someone you know is in immediate danger, call 9-1-1 right away. Help is available — trained first responders are ready to support you.
