Welcome to Monday morning. Are you a Yay, Monday! person or an Ugh, Monday, person? If you’re the latter, how can you put a positive spin on it? Consider this: Monday means Yay, Friday’s coming! but Friday means Monday’s coming.... #Mindfulness #Positivity Credit: unknown See more

Look at #WhatsOn this Week. See you there!

We celebrated somebody’s milestone birthday this week. She thought there was a PowerPoint to watch. LOL Of course, per our norm, we had #DessertForBreakfast! We do #bressert, too, Jon Hamm! SkipTheDishes Not sure she wants her name announced but the "writing's on the wall."

Communication is vital, especially during a pandemic which is causing additional social isolation. #RedBearConnects by Red Bear Healing Home to the rescue! #FREE #Community #Communication #ConnectionMatters Kudos to all participating funders, too.

The numbers are in! A huge THANK YOU to Sarah and Sabin of Made By Sarah - Homeschooling Project. Sarah began sewing #masks last year in response to the great need due to COVID-19; her brother then joined in and together, in 2020, they sewed a total of 1,120 masks. They so generously donated $2 from every mask to Healthy Minds Cooperative, donating $1,400 last summer and then, this donation of another $840 for a total #donation of $2,240 We are so proud of you, Sarah an...d Sabin, and we are also grateful, knowing this was not 'just' about raising money. We know that you and your family are great #advocates for #MentalHealth and your passion is obvious. And, YES, they are still making masks if you'd like to participate in this #fundraiser. Masks come in over 100 fabrics, 3-layer (1 filter provided), choice of 3 styles, and multiple sizes. #Donation #Fundraiser #YouthAdvocates

Today was #BlueMonday. Coined as the most depressing day of the year. What did you do for yourself, if anything? o exercise? o self-care (bubble bath, maybe)? o meditate?... o mindfulness session? o take an extra break for yourself to just read or listen to music? o no screen time?

It's #DigitalHealthWeek, celebrating the adoption of digital health tools (such as virtual consultations, new mobile apps, etc.). While 2020 has brought immense challenges to the health system, it also served to highlight the progress made in the implementation of these tools. Healthy Minds Cooperative commends Nova Scotia Health for all its efforts to quickly deploy alternative methods of care for Nova Scotians, especially for mental health, at the onset of the #pandemic. Ou...r little Co-op also quickly embraced the opportunity to offer virtual support to ensure our #mentalhealth and #addiction supports were available ASAP. Now Nova Scotians across the province can now access our #navigationservice, #wellnessprogramming and #peersupport, even after the #pandemic. And a timely note of congratulations going out to Nova Scotia Health! #COVID19 #HealthCare #PandemicResponse https://haligonia.ca/nova-scotia-wins-international-award-/
