Mississauga Family Support Group

I hope everyone will be able to join myself and other family members at the Mississauga February Family Support Group on Monday, February 27th, 2012 from 7-9pm.  Our meetings are usually the third Monday of every month, although in February that falls on Family Day!  So please come out the following Monday to share, meet new people, and self care with us. 
I hope everyone will use their day off on Family day to spend some quality time with those that you love (and that includes yourself!).

I hope everyone has a wonderful week, and if there are any questions regarding the group, please feel free to contact me at 905-276-8216.

Hope to see everyone there!

When Mental Illness Becomes Part of a Family

Award Winning Journalist, Andre Picard continues his ongoing series about mental illness in the Globe and Mail. This time Mr. Picard writes about when mental illness becomes part of a family. I encourage you to take a few minutes and have a read at one of the latest installments in this series.

Finally, February 8th rapidly approaches and I'd like to take this opportunity to remind you about Bell's "Let's Talk About It" campaign. Let's talk. Let's get this all out in the open. The only way we'll ever move towards removing stigma and increasing tolerance and understanding of the complexities of mental illness is to talk about it.
