Miramichi is a friendly, community-minded city with a rich cultural history, strong family values, and a deep sense of resilience. Yet even in a supportive community, life can feel overwhelming. Balancing work, family life, school, and personal expectations isn’t always easy — and many people carry emotional stresses quietly. You don’t have to face them alone.
Whether you live in the city, a nearby town, or a rural part of Northumberland County, support is accessible, confidential, and designed to fit your life — without the need to travel.
SAGE offers a supportive and confidential space to explore challenges, learn coping strategies, and make meaningful changes — from the comfort of your home or another private space.
