Social media can be positive, but endless scrolling and algorithm-driven content can affect some young people's mental health.

Changes in behaviour aren't always linked to social media, but certain signs may indicate it's having an impact.

Here are some things to look out for. 👇

Mom Peer Support
No matter the woman’s story, motherhood is challenging. It is a road of change, physical, mental, and full of emotions, where many find themselves isolated, even if they are surrounded by people. This transitional period of a woman’s life, can be even more so challenging for women who are going through postpartum depression/anxiety, have per-existing mental health and/or psychiatric conditions, that they have lived with for part of, or much of their lives. They may feel like they can only discuss a fraction of what they are experiencing, alone, and feel overwhelmed in ways that others may not understand if they were to share. A peer support group designated for mothers who mutually understand these unique challenges, is a safe space, to be open and talk about what they are living through, so they can know they are not alone in their experience, nor should they have to be.
Starting July 14th
Every Tuesday
1:00pm-2:00pm

Come Together, Canada. Stronger connections. Better mental health.
May 4- May 10

This week, we invite you to take one small step toward connections either with someone else  or in your own life:
* reach out to a colleague, friend, acquaintance etc.
* create space for an honest, human conversation 
* tell someone about your own struggles and or recovery
* check in with someone you haven’t connected with in a while
* or take a moment to check in with yourself

Connection does not have to be big to be meaningful.

Mental Health Week is also an opportunity to take action and help amplify the importance of connection across your communities and workplaces. Today there are so many ways to do this; email, text, phone call, social media and in person.  Even just a coffee with someone can make all the difference and start to build stronger connections.

Check out Mood Disorders Ottawa (MDO) to find out how we are making connections.

Come together, Canada.
Sincerely,
Your friends at MDO.
