About me
Wood Buffalo Addiction and Mental Health Services are proud to house our local addiction team. Addiction Services are a small but mighty team of passionate, dedicated and highly skilled professionals who strive to provide absolute best practices and evidence-based supports around the field of addictions. Currently offering support to individuals (adults, youth and children) who use substances, family members and loved ones supporting a person who uses substances, and those seeking more information and understanding around the process of addiction. Supports are offered through a combination of individual therapy, process style recovery groups and/ or referrals to residential treatment supports as needed.
Every journey takes a different path; all are welcome and supported to start and continue with Wood Buffalo Addiction and Mental Health Services.
Ft McMurray Public & Population Health – Carolyn Evancio, Health Promotion Facilitator
Health promotion and disease prevention programs focus on keeping people healthy. Health promotion programs aim to engage and empower individuals and communities to choose healthy behaviors, and make changes that reduce the risk of developing chronic disease and other morbidities. I work closely with schools to promote healthy living including healthy eating, physical activity, mental health and tobacco/vaping awareness.
