Message from the Mood Disorders Association of Manitoba Board Chair
Welcome to our new Interim Executive Director Marian Goldstone
10 years ago was a life changing event for me; I became a volunteer at Mood Disorders Association of Manitoba. From that time to the present day I have marveled as I watched the organization grow and develop, helping people, lifting spirits and giving hope and healing where this did not seem possible. It has evolved into the solid leader of mental health peer support, education and advocacy that is unsurpassed in Manitoba today. Through policies of inclusivity and the tireless efforts of staff and volunteers who keep MDAM open 365 days a year, we are helping more families and communities in Manitoba than ever before.

The Mood Disorders Association of Manitoba offices are located on original lands of the Anishinaabe, Cree, Oji-Cree, Dakota, and Dene Peoples, and on the homeland of the Métis Nation. We respect the Treaties that were made on these territories. We acknowledge the harms and mistakes of the past, and we dedicate ourselves to move forward in partnership with Indigenous communities in a spirit of reconciliation and collaboration.
