This workshop is offered by CMHA to community members. "Loneliness is something that can affect anyone. Whether it is due to isolation, or feeling like we don’t fit in, feeling disconnected from others can influence our sense of well-being. Sometimes our thoughts, feelings and fears can keep us stuck in a negative pattern that can impact our mood and ability to engage with ourselves and others. In this webinar we will look at some quick and easy strategies to help us cope with some of those feelings and behaviours to help us feel more connected."

This workshop is offered by CMHA to community members. A great deal of emphasis is placed on our physical health – becoming more active, eating a healthy diet, having a proper night’s sleep; all of these are important in maintaining our Mental Health as well. Good mental health is not merely the absence of an illness or diagnosis. We will explore that it means to have good Mental Health, and discuss the role that self-care plays in building mental wellness and resilience.
