E-GROUP PEER SUPPORT
Tired of Winter?
Would an Egroup help?
Please contact BarbaraB@mooddisordersmanitoba.ca for more information and to see if this might help you.
We are offering egroups for people who are isolated through geography, lack of transportation, lack of childcare, mental or physical disability. As well, this is in response to the harsh climate conditions of our winter.

Run For Women
May 24th 2014
Canadian Mennonite University
We are excited to announce that this year we are the benefiting charity of the Shoppers Drugmart Run for WOMEN! The Shoppers Drug Run for WOMEN is about sisterhood and how our friends make us laugh, motivate us, and keep us going!
We run for the sheer joy of it, and it feels even better when we can share it. Shouldn’t all women have a chance to experience a personal best? That’s why they are supporting our women’s mental health initiatives.
Women are three times more likely than men to suffer from depression. Research indicates that one in four women will experience some form of depression in their lifetime. With millions of women bravely facing mental health issues every day, we need your help to create a positive impact in their lives.
There are options to do a 5K walk/run, 10K walk/run or Girls 1K (12 & under), click here to sign up a team!
