October was Mental Health Month. To celebrate, Flipside and the Community Hub collaborated to host four different free events open to all ages.

The first event was a morning tea and a Flipside presentation. Delicious, sweet treats were provided by the Roxby Bakery, along with hot beverages from the Community Hub. Attendees learned about Flipside—what it is, who can refer and how, what happens after a referral, and some mental health tips to use while waiting for a first Flipside appointment.

The next three events featured workshops on effective problem-solving and changing negative thoughts. Eight people attended the workshops and shared that they found the skills learned very useful. They felt confident about applying these skills in their everyday lives.

If you are interested in more mental health workshops, please share your ideas and suggestions with the Community Hub. Let them know the ideal days and times you’d be able to attend.

Flipside looks forward to working alongside the Community Hub as we move into 2025. We thank everyone for their support and attendance during Mental Health Month.
