Hello all!



Our next monthly family peer support meeting is fast approaching. It’s hard to believe it’s almost been a month already! With all this beautiful sunshine we’ve been having, the days are just flying by. Looks like the start of a wonderful summer!


Things are very busy around the office but there is so much hope in every situation. It’s really an honour to be reached out to and I always look forward to hearing from you. It’s a great feeling to be a part of seeing that light and sharing that vision with you. Anything is always possible if we take it one day at a time!


I was so pleased with how our Family Peer Support Appreciation Dinner turned out. It was a pleasure for both Joel and I to honour your contribution to Nipissing Family with a nice meal and we were so happy you all enjoyed yourselves. You deserve it! The meeting that took place afterwards was truly remarkable. You all deserve a pat on the back for the support given that night. It was peer support at its finest!


Jane, our new teacher Maureen from True Self and I have been training and preparing for our upcoming NAMI Family-to Family program. It is scheduled to commence Tuesday September 7th at 6:00 p.m. Jane is doing an absolute fantastic job of preparing Maureen and myself to become teachers. As she has already taught the program twice she knows it inside and out as well as all of the tricks of the trade. Her dedication is truly amazing. So, thank you Jane, you are an angel. Please contact me if you know of anyone who would be interested in participating in our next course as we expect it to fill up quite quickly.


As we approach the long weekend, I hope you all have a chance to take some time for yourselves to kick back and read a book, work on some gardening or anything you love to do. Make it happen! The weather forecast looks great so Mother Nature is on your side. Enjoy! See you all Tuesday June 1st at 6:30 p.m.
