We are here to help. This is peer led support group. This is not counselling. This is a peer lead support group by parents with lived experience raising children with mental health concerns. At RPLYT we know how important it is to nurture your own mental health during stressful times.   You can log into Zoom on your computer or your phone. You can interact with the facilitator and group members or just listen. It is whatever you are comfortable with. We are all here to support you on your journey of mental health. Today parents are dealing with anxiety and extreme stress due to COVID-19. Many parents of children/teens who struggle with mental health concerns may be entering these difficult times with battle fatigue. Children and teens react to the behaviours and energy from the adults around them. As parents it is important to keep our own mental wellness in check to keep our homes and families in good health.   At RPLYT we like to call this a parallel process. Please join us for a Free ONLINE Parent Support Group Wednesday Evenings from 7:00-8:30pm CDT This will be an hour and a half facilitator lead support for Parents via Zoom Facilitated by Kirsten Drybrough and Charlotte Sytnyk Kirsten and Charlotte have been facilitating groups for over 5 years.

Charlotte believes whole heartedly in Peer Support and its role in Mental Wellness.   Kirsten Drybrough the Ambassador of Advocacy and Parent Support at RPLYT Kirsten is known for having a calm and gentle demeanor but don't let this fool you, she is a powerful mental health advocate for Canadian adolescents.  It is through her personal journey that she has created significant change in government policy regarding mental health and adolescents, allowing young people who need help, to obtain the funds necessary to get the treatment they so desperately need.  Kirsten believes that we all must "own our story'" and that shame should never follow a mental health struggle. Through her experience raising two beautiful daughters, alongside her husband Keith, she has earned a wealth of knowledge to share with other parents.

NOTICE: Mariners Inn's Golf Outing Going Virtual

Mariners Inn Friends & Supporters, We recognize the complexity of what the world is facing right now, and we want to do our part to remain as careful as we can with all of you in mind. With that being said, we're writing to let you know we've moved our annual Tee Off for Recovery Golf Outing (which was set for June 5, 2020) virtual. Although we'd certainly love to see you, we feel it best to not proceed as usual since these times are anything but usual. This is the right decision for all the right reasons. Tee Off for Recovery is a way to gather our friends for a day of golf and camaraderie. We take time to thank our new and longtime supporters, who help us continue to provide services to men and families who have been affected by the disease of addiction. Our golf outing is our second largest fundraiser of the year, and even though we won't be on the golf course, the need for your generous support will still be there. You can still participate by selecting sponsorships and admission tickets. Each year we serve over 700 men and so many of them work through their recovery and reunite with their families, all because of your compassion and support. Simply put, we can't do this without you. Will you donate to Mariners Inn today via our Virtual Tee off For Recovery? <https://events.readysetauction.com/marinersinn/teeoff20> We have been so fortunate to build a community of wonderful supporters and we cannot thank you enough for being part of that. Sending strength and light to everyone during these trying times, Erica Rakowicz erakowicz@marinersinn.org Director of Fund Development & Marketing  ‌  ‌  ‌  ‌  ‌
