Blue Monday is often called the saddest day of the year, shaped by cold weather, shorter days, and the emotional comedown after the holidays.

But it’s also a reminder to check in—with ourselves and with one another. Feelings of stress, grief, or burnout can surface this time of year, and no one should have to carry them alone.

If this resonates with you, please know that support is available. Help can be as close as a phone call or a click away.

The Mental Health Program at Windsor Regional Hospital provides acute services 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for patients 16 years of age or older.

Thank you David Faulkner for performing at Met Campus today as part of our Sounds of Wellness music series! David has played professionally for over 30 years with a passion for jazz piano. David believes that music not only connects musicians to each other but it forges a powerful communication bond between the musician and the audience.

UPDATE: The issues with 911 phone service have been resolved.

Bell has notified us that residents in the 519 area code are experiencing issues when calling 911 from a landline, resulting in a busy signal. Further, when calling from a cell phone, there may be a lengthy delay in connecting to 911. If you are in the County of Essex, the City of Windsor or on Pelee Island and require an ambulance, but are experiencing issues reaching 911, please call 1-800-265-5840. Bell has confirmed that they are working on correcting the issue.

Both Windsor Regional Hospital and Erie Shores HealthCare are experiencing higher-than-usual volumes in our Emergency Departments, and wait times may be longer than normal for patients with non-life-threatening concerns.

Our teams care for patients based on medical urgency, not arrival time. If your symptoms are mild or you’re not sure the ED is the right place to start, here are options that may help you get care sooner:

- Health811 (dial 811): Speak with a registered nurse 24/7 for advice on what to do next and where to go.

- Your primary care provider: Call your family doctor or nurse practitioner.

- A walk-in clinic or urgent care clinic: A good choice for many non-emergency issues, like minor infections, sprains/strains, mild asthma flare-ups, rashes, or earaches.

- Pharmacist care: Pharmacists can provide advice and treatment for many common concerns and recommend next steps if you need to see a clinician.

- Virtual care: If you can safely stay home, virtual advice could be an option. Visit https://health811.ontario.ca for online options.
Mental health supports: If you’re struggling but not in immediate danger, community and crisis supports can help. If you’re in crisis, you can call the 24-hour community crisis line at 519-973-4435. If you are in immediate danger or at risk of harming yourself, call 911 or come to the ED.

- If you or a loved one is experiencing severe symptoms such as chest pain, trouble breathing, signs of stroke, or a serious injury, please call 911.

Thank you for your patience and for treating our staff with kindness as we care for the community.
