Edmonton—Built to help Albertans, ATB Financial is taking the opportunity today to join in on the conversation around mental health by reminding Albertans of a number of resources that are available to them.

Just as we are committed to banking, we are committed to the betterment of Albertans.”

As part of ATB’s Greater Good Strategy, the organization works closely with a number of mental health partners and is seizing the opportunity today to send a reminder of the valuable resources these partners offer to Albertans:
