Michael Dadson Urges CERB Recipients to Stay Active, Engaged, Seek Counselling if Necessary
Langley, BC Clinical Counsellor Advises Preparing for October 3, 2020, Canada Emergency Response Benefit (CERB) End-Date
LANGLEY, BC, CANADA, August 25, 2020 /EINPresswire.com/ — Michael Dadson is a registered clinical counsellor and Senior Clinical Director of Practice at Gentle Currents Therapy and Neurofeedback, in Langley, British Columbia and sees clients of all ages with a wide variety of conditions. The most common mental health challenges causing clients to seek counselling are anxiety, depression, and post -traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Dr. Dadson advises British Columbians:
“Make sure that you are staying active and engaged in as much outdoor activity as possible. Be open to new opportunities which can help you through the winter of 2020/2021 and prepare yourself emotionally. Now may be a good time to seek counselling if you find yourself withdrawn or depressed, especially if your employment or studies have been affected by restrictions.”
“Now may be a good time to seek counselling if you find yourself withdrawn or depressed, especially if your employment or studies have been affected by restrictions.”

Many Canadians have been able to go back to work this summer, since the peak of the COVID-19 outbreak earlier this year; some public dining and retail shopping has resumed, and a “new normal” appears to be emerging, but outdoor solutions are likely to be less practical with the imminent onset of a Canadian winter.
Many experts predict a second wave of COVID-19 cases this autumn and winter, similar to the second wave of the Spanish flu pandemic of 1918.
On October 3, 2020 when the Canadian Emergency Relief Benefit (CERB) is set to end and ‘transition’ to Employment Insurance (EI), most of the country will be approaching freezing temperatures and Canadians will be spending more time indoors.
Temporary outdoor patio dining and orderly outdoor lineups for retail establishments, including grocery stores, will become less practical in harsh weather conditions.
Prepare for new mental, physical, and economical challenges arising from the COVID-19 pandemic.
With the time frame for federal emergency benefits drawing to a close, Canadians need to take stock of their mental health as it stands right now, according to Dr. Dadson:
“Now is a good time to take stock of your mental, physical, and financial health, especially if CERB has been helping you through the summer.”
