A local non-profit that provided mental health services to people with high-stress occupations, has made the decision to shut down after 23 years of operation.
Elk Valley Critical Incident Response Team (EVCIRT) offered mental health support to police officers, first responders, firefighters, mine employees and other individuals who had witnessed traumatic events. The group’s outreach spanned the Elk Valley and extended as far as Kimberley, Fairmont and Pincher Creek, AB.
