 Portico is "open to the world." Portico is all about connecting, contributing and learning.  When you register (top right button on the Portico site) you can participate in discussions and comment on articles. Portico is a dynamic network where you can meet and connect with health care providers, clients, families and others who are interested in mental health and addiction. It's powered by the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health and driven by people like you.


The "Navigator" - this is a resource that will continue to build. It is a collection of supports in various NS communities.
