ON THE COVER — “Under Pressure!” — 18
We talk with former National Hockey League goaltender Clint Malarchuk in November before his speaking engagement at the Stigma Enigma 6th annual “Mingle For Maryvale” Adolescent Mental Health Centre. During this evening he shared his extraordinary life story — which includes his long battle with alcoholism and almost ending his life by a gunshot to the head — in his relentless effort to help end the stigma of mental illness and to help others who may suffer as well. Over time, constant stress can contribute to serious health problems such as mental disorders. Stress can manifest itself in many ways and can be caused by a variety of issues including home life, the workplace, job loss or change and pressures at school. Finding effective ways to alleviate stress is very important. Our cover story explores how Malarchuk is coping and also offers advice from local biz pros who have experienced (or are still experiencing) stressful situations. You will soon see they all do whatever it takes to get the job done and keep their stress under control . . . and you can too!
