We are thrilled to be part of a research project by a Master of Psychiatric Nursing student from Brandon University!
If you are 18 years of age or older, have recently taken a course within the last 6 months at Thrive Learning Centre -Recovery College and are interested in sharing your experience at the Recovery College with a student researcher, Melanie Gessell would like to hear from you.
Melanie is a graduate student in the Faculty of Health Studies at Brandon University. She is completing a research thesis on exploring the perspectives of students attending a rural Recovery College and is interested in hearing the perspectives of people who have attended Thrive Learning Centre to gain a better understanding of how Recovery Colleges in rural communities may affect the lives of people using this community mental health resource.
This research is an independent study meaning the Canadian Mental Health Association -Central MB and Thrive Learning Centre -Recovery College will not know who agreed to participate in the research.
If you are interested in learning more about how you might participate in this independent research study, please contact Melanie at 204-903-7876 or email mcmillm164@brandonu.ca

When was the last time you sat down and really asked yourself "How am I feeling?" So many people are beginning to notice just how run down, burned out, or out-of-sorts we've all felt during this seemingly-never-ending pandemic.
When we experience chronic, ongoing stress, it becomes harder to notice how it impacts our life. Everyday transgressions that were once mildly irritating or upsetting may now suddenly feel unmanageable or life-changing.
That is why it is so important for all of us to routinely practice self-care strategies every single day. By maintaining good psychological hygiene, we become more resilient through our hardships. Everyone deserves love and support, so why not give ourselves the same? Make us part of your self-care plan and register for our Thrive Learning Centre health and wellness courses today!
