MDAM is pleased to partner with Hilary Druxman Design for this exciting fundraising initiative.

The “Life-Love-Healing” Pendant was inspired by the free-style graffiti sculpture, LifesArt, by artist Reid Bricker. Reid loved to sculpt and his art inspired conversations that encouraged others to see the beauty within their own creativity. Reid believed that Life truly is Art.

100% of the net proceeds from the sale of each handcrafted pendant will support men’s depression and youth programming at the Mood Disorders Association of Manitoba. This is a sterling silver pendant on a 16-18" chain. Also available as a lapel pin.

To purchase, please visit our website.

📣 Join Us: Adventures Club Information Session

Adventures Club is a group-based program for youth ages 12–16 who want to build confidence, coping skills, and stronger social connections — without the pressure of a clinical setting.

Through games and collaborative activities, youth practice managing emotions, working with others, and navigating social situations in ways that feel natural and engaging.

This information session is open to parents, caregivers, and youth who want to learn more about the program and decide if it’s a good fit.

Take a slow breath and let this land:

You don’t have to hold everything on your own.

Support can be quiet. Presence can be enough. Rest can still be connection.

Let yourself soften into that truth today.

Shared Breath Pause

Connection can begin with a single breath — even when you’re alone.

Take one minute to pause with this practice.

Instructions:
• Sit comfortably and place one hand over your heart.
• Inhale slowly through your nose for a count of 4.
• As you exhale through your mouth for a count of 6, imagine that breath connecting you to others who are also pausing right now.
• With each exhale, silently think: I am connected, even in this moment.
• Repeat for one minute, letting your body soften with each breath.

You don’t have to feel perfectly calm. Just present is enough.

For many people, depression responds well to psychotherapy and medication.

However, about 30% of individuals experience what is known as treatment-resistant depression (TRD). 🛤️

If traditional paths haven't worked for you, please know that research is constantly expanding. Newer options under medical supervision—such as Ketamine, Psilocybin-assisted therapy trials, and targeted brain stimulation (like TMS)—are offering new hope for those with complex or persistent depression.

While some treatments like ECT (Electroconvulsive therapy) have been used for decades with high success rates, science is working hard to make newer treatments more precise with fewer side effects. There is always a next step, and we are here to help you find it.

Refill before you’re empty

You don’t have to wait until burnout to deserve rest or support.

Checking in, taking a pause, or reaching out before things feel overwhelming is a powerful act of care.

This Friday, ask yourself: what would help my cup feel a little steadier today?

Festival du Voyageur season is here—snow crunching under boots, music in the air, warm drinks, and that cozy feeling of being part of something bigger… even in the cold.

Let’s do a Voyageur-style check-in: How’s your inner warmth today?

🔥 Bonfire Bright — feeling steady, connected, energized
🪵 Adding Logs — doing okay, but need support to keep going
🕯️ Little Lantern — low energy, taking it moment by moment
🌬️ Cold Windy Day — feeling raw/overwhelmed; need extra care
🧣 Wrapped Up Tight — protecting my peace; keeping things small

Whatever your level today, you’re not behind. You’re human. And you deserve warmth—inside and out.

Looking for something fun to do? Check out the Festival du Voyageur from February 13 – 22, 2026 (https://heho.ca/)!

Connection includes solitude

Connection isn’t the opposite of being alone.

Sometimes it’s found in quiet moments — reflecting, resting, or simply being with your thoughts without judgment. Solitude can be a way of reconnecting with yourself so that connection with others feels more honest and sustainable.

This month, we’re honouring all forms of connection — including the ones that happen in stillness.

Depression doesn’t look the same for everyone. 🔍

In men and younger people, it often shows up less as "sadness" and more as irritability, a short temper, or a persistent sense of cynicism. Social expectations around masculinity—such as being “strong” or emotionally contained—can make it harder to recognize these signs as depression.

Because of this, many men delay seeking support until symptoms begin to seriously interfere with daily life. This Psychology Month, let's normalize the fact that struggling doesn't make you weak. Recognizing these early, non-stereotypical signs can lead to earlier support and a faster path back to feeling like yourself.
