It has been known for a long time that being creative on a regular basis has many benefits for our mental and physical health. It helps us to think positively and gives us energy. We may not be able to control what happens in the world, but we can become stronger in our minds through creative activities.
We want to create a safe place for people to try different ways to be creative. Being able to attend often helps people to benefit from these activities.
The first session is for 1 hour a week, for 5 weeks.
Heather Martens Rempel invites you to the first 5 week session where we will be making colorful prints using acrylic paint, recycling materials and a gel-plate. This activity is easy and fun for all ages and abilities.
All supplies and a snack will be provided at no cost to participants.
We hope to have more sessions depending on the interest expressed by participants.
You can register by contacting our office located at 102 1st St NW Portage la Prairie.

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
