Leave a little room for yourself this Thanksgiving.

Let someone else set the table. Say yes to help with the dishes. Keep part of the meal simple.

If you’re hosting, you deserve to enjoy the gathering you’ve worked to organise.

However you spend the weekend, give yourself room for how you actually feel. Gratitude, grief and complicated family feelings can share the same day.

Wishing you a Thanksgiving with some space to rest.

“You don’t have to explain it perfectly. I’m listening.”

Sometimes a few words make it easier to keep talking.

This World Mental Health Day, we’re making room for the words that helped people feel heard.

What’s one thing someone said that helped you—or something you wish you’d heard?

Share below if you feel comfortable.

Every experience matters.

A message you almost didn’t send could open a conversation.

“I’ve noticed you’ve seemed quieter lately. Want to talk?”

Start with what you’ve noticed. Give them time to answer, and listen without rushing to offer a solution. Ask what would help: company, practical support or finding someone to talk to.

They may not be ready to share. Let them know you care, and check in again.

Save this carousel for a moment when finding the words feels difficult.

For more practical guidance, read CMHA’s Social Support resource:

If you’re concerned someone may be thinking about su***de, ask directly. Call or text 9-8-8 for support with concerns about yourself or someone else, 24/7.

Indigenous people can also call Hope for Wellness at 1-855-242-3310. If someone is in immediate danger, call 9-1-1.

October is ADHD Awareness Month.

ADHD does not always look like the stereotype of hyperactivity. For many women, experiences such as difficulty managing time, organizing tasks, or feeling constantly behind can be overlooked or misunderstood.

Greater understanding can help challenge stigma. If this post resonates with you or someone you know, consider sharing it.

Join CMHA Across Manitoba in person or online for Exploring Adult ADHD. This practical course explores ADHD in everyday life, treatment options, and strategies to support focus, manage stress, and organize daily routines.

Film is a powerful form of storytelling that can entertain, inspire and help us understand complex experiences. Participants are invited to enjoy a film that explores themes related to mental health and see how movies can convey important messages about resilience, struggle, and human connection. Afterwards, a guided discussion will explore the film’s portrayal of individuals living with mental health challenges, how media shapes public perceptions, and the ways stories can challenge or reinforce stereotypes.

This session provides a relaxed and supportive space to reflect, share insights, and appreciate the role of film in promoting awareness, empathy, and meaningful conversation about mental health.
