CONNECT Program

The CONNECT Program is a 6-week educational course about promoting mental health and social connection with mindfulness. It aims to help you better understand yourself, your emotions and values, and learn techniques and coping strategies for dealing with loneliness, isolation, depression, and anxiety.

This program is part of an active research study in partnership with the University of Manitoba. Participants may be eligible to receive honorariums for their participation. If you are interested, please contact Edwin for further information and registration.
