Help for the Holidays in New Brunswick
The New Brunswick government has a range of supports available for people who need help during the holidays.
“The holiday season can be a joyous time for many New Brunswickers, but that is not the case for everyone,” said Families and Children Minister Stephen Horsman. “We want people to know that help is available.”
During the holidays, people can call to get help regarding health care, abuse or other kinds of emergencies.
