Exploring the Journey of Recovery Workshops

Recovery

• Is a process that is possible for everyone
• Means that someone is not defined by their mental illness;  it is only a part of them
• As people discover who they are and what their strengths are, their experience of illness becomes less prominent
• Is about regaining meaningful roles in life

 

The Canadian Mental Health Association, Winnipeg Region offers a variety of workshops based on the recovery concepts. Participants start with a 3 hour

introductory workshop that focuses on recovery, change and overall health and wellness. This is followed by an individual planning session with the workshop facilitator.  During the planning session the person will have the opportunity to develop their own recovery plan. The plan may include participation in a series of other health, wellness and recovery workshops being offered or other recovery related activities. After the plan has been completed, a follow up meeting takes place with the facilitator to plan the next steps.

Menu of Workshops being presented

• Health and Wellness Series (6 sessions)

• Wellness Recovery Action Planning

• Understanding and Overcoming Barriers to Assertiveness

• Spirituality in Recovery

Workshops are offered two times per year, in the Fall and Spring.
