Support Squad is a safe, zero-judgment space where we figure out this mental health journey together. This isn’t just a place to listen—it’s a community where we share our own insights, learn from each other’s lived experiences, and build our collective knowledge. Together, we will trade practical tools to spot challenges early, build self-compassion, and hold each other accountable to our goals. Whether you are dealing with everyday stress or working toward long-term personal growth, your voice and your wisdom belong here.

Pathways to Recovery In Person Expectations:
​
-Peer participation and engagement
​
​-Shared learning
​
The Pathways to Recovery in person program (12 weeks) combined with the Self Help workbook takes a strengths based, self help approach to recovery. Pathways will take you through a process of exploring your own recovery journey while creating a long-range vision for your life. The workshop format allows individuals to explore their current lives and set goals across ten life domains that include creating a home, learning, working, nurturing a social circle, intimacy and sexuality, wellness, leisure and spirituality.
Pathways helps you to identify your personal strengths and dreams, and refocus on reclaiming positive sources of identity and a life beyond being a person with a mood disorder or a consumer of mental health services. It helps you think about and plan how to improve your quality of life and to live a full life, despite your history or challenges.
​
Our goal in using this program is to provide a supportive culture for people to explore their own recovery in a self-directed and self-controlled way, but done in group setting so that the experience can involve mutual support and building peer relationships that support and sustain recovery. Our hope is that people who participate in this program, and incorporate the work into their own journeys of healing, will one day receive most of their life’s supports and resources outside of the mental health system.

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
Virtual Via Zoom For more information and to register go to www.mooddisordersottawa.ca
