We’ve been blessed with a milder winter thus far, but winter can be hard on our mental health as the days are darker, shorter, and colder. In Canada, as many as 15% of people experience the “winter blues,” also known as a milder form of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD).
While winter in Manitoba is unavoidable, there are some things you can do to help with the winter blues, including:
- Getting some daylight (bundle up and head outside)
- Exercise regularly and manage stress
- Eat a well-balanced diet & maintain a good sleep routine
Please take a peak at our January calendar to see what we offer this month. Come for a warm healthy meal on Wednesdays, join a class through MHRD to engage in more physical activity, or stop by for a visit with one of our coordinators to discover what we have to offer here at HSS. Newcomers are always welcome!
