Good Day!

For those of you who were not able to attend our last Family Peer Support meeting on the 1st, I'd like you to know that we have done some brain storming around summer activities for Nipissing Family. Those who attended completed a satisfaction survey on their overall experience at Nipissing Family. This will aid us in working over the summer to get you the things you want this fall. There seemed to be a general consensus of wanting to hear more guest speakers and educational films around mental health issues.

 Joel and I would like to thank those of you who have already completed the survey. We very much appreciate your feedback. We would also like to encourage those of you who have not completed one to do so. They are available through the office or I can e-mail you one.

In other news, we have decided that a change of location for our summer monthly meetings would be great way to keep things fun. This way we can enjoy the great outdoors together! A couple of our family members have generously offered their homes and gardens for us to meet. We also agreed that meeting at 5:00 for a pot-luck style dinner would be a nice way to share with one another. Please contact me for location details as well as food ideas for our next meeting.

Also discussed was our Monday walking group. With the groups support we have decided to put it on hold until the fall and can start it back up again in September sometime. If you have any ideas on what you would like to see at Nipissing Family this fall please don't hesitate to call. I'd love to hear from you!

**Don't forget to help in getting the word out for our upcoming NAMI Family-to-Family course this September.

Have a lovely weekend!
