As November settles in, we’re reminded of the power of community and conversation. Every cup of coffee, every shared story, every moment of listening — they all help build connection and strength.

Join us this week at MDAM for spaces that nurture mental wellness, belonging, and hope. 🌿☕✨



🧘‍♀️ Monday, November 17 – Wellness Support Group & One-on-One Chats

Start your week grounded and supported.
Our Wellness Support Group is a safe and welcoming space to share how you’re feeling, listen to others, and learn practical ways to care for your mental health.

If you’d prefer a private check-in, we’re here for that too — book a One-on-One Chat with one of our team members. Sometimes a simple conversation can bring comfort, clarity, and calm. 💬



🌸 Tuesday, November 18 – Soul Sisters

Tuesday is for connection and compassion.
Soul Sisters is a heartfelt group for women to come together, share experiences, and lift one another up. Whether you’re navigating challenges or celebrating growth, you’ll find empathy, strength, and laughter here.

It’s a reminder that we are never alone in our stories — and that together, healing happens. 💕



☕ Wednesday, November 19 – Tea & Tales (Minnedosa & Erickson)

Midweek calls for meaningful conversation and a warm cup of tea. 🫖
Join us for Tea & Tales in Minnedosa or Erickson, where we share stories, connection, and community care.

These gatherings offer a gentle pause in your week — a place to relax, reflect, and remember that your voice and presence matter. 💚



💬 Thursday, November 20 – Coffee Talk

Caffeine and connection for your Thursday! ☕
Coffee Talk is a relaxed, drop-in style gathering where you can chat, laugh, or simply listen. It’s about creating space for real conversations and real people — no pressure, no expectations, just community.

Come for the coffee, stay for the connection. 🌼



🌿 Friday, November 21 – Tea & Tales (Rotary Villas)

End your week with comfort and companionship at Tea & Tales – Rotary Villas.
It’s a lovely way to unwind, reflect, and share stories in a calm and supportive environment. Whether you come to chat or just enjoy the company, you’ll always be welcome here. 💛



No matter where you are in your journey, MDAM has a space for you — to connect, to talk, to rest, and to grow.
Together, we make mental wellness a shared journey. 🌸

TOOLS FOR THRIVING: The Two-Minute Transition

Feeling rushed or scattered? You’re not alone.

Many of us move from one thing to the next without ever giving our minds a chance to catch up. Those tiny pauses we skip can make a big difference in how calm, focused, and emotionally balanced we feel.

This month’s Tool for Thriving: The Two-Minute Transition

It’s a simple, science-backed way to reset your nervous system between tasks, so your brain and body have space to breathe.

How to do it:
• Before starting your next activity, stop and take a slow, deep breath.
• Gently stretch, stand up, or sip some water.
• Ask yourself: “How do I feel right now, and what do I need before I continue?”
• Set a small intention for what’s next — something like “steady focus” or “gentle pace.”

Two minutes of stillness can change the energy of your whole day.
Pacing yourself isn’t laziness — it’s strategy for mental wellness. 💛

In One Thousand and One Nights, a Sultan finds his wife in bed with another. Enraged, he has her executed and every night weds anew, beheading his wife at dawn. Shahrazad weds him, but has a plan. She gets her sister to ask for a story, and Shahrazad so does, leaving off on a cliffhanger, for it was late. The Sultan, caught up in the telling, allows her to live another day to finish the story. So it continues for 1001 nights, at which point he falls in love with her and spares her life. Patience was needed to move that man’s heart– just as it takes patience to change our own. Take your time, and enjoy the present; the future will take care of itself.

Squirrel Mode Check-In!
As the days get shorter and the air gets chillier, it’s time for a cozy self-check.
Just like squirrels prepare for winter, we can prepare our emotional selves for the season ahead.

✨ How are you preparing for your emotional winter?

🌰 Still gathering acorns (working on it)
🐿️ Nest built, feeling secure
🍂 Running in circles—forgetting where I hid my nuts!
❄️ Hibernation mode: fully stocked and snuggled in

There’s no “right” place to be on this list — just awareness, kindness, and a reminder that preparation looks different for everyone. Whether you’re gathering your acorns or curled up in your nest, you’re doing your best. 💛

🎵 Sometimes the most powerful move you can make is to slow down.

A metronome helps musicians keep time when they are practising without a conductor, and that idea can also be applied to mental wellness when you’re practising your skills. Keeping a steady pace can help you from stumbling as you go too fast, and allows for you to get a feel for your abilities as they grow.
