CMHA Middlesex acknowledges the ancestral and traditional territories

of the Anishinaabek (ani-shin-a-beck), Haundenosaunee (How-den-o-saw-knee), Huron-Wendat (Huron Wan-dad), Attawandaron (ed-a-wan-dren), and the Lenni-Lenape (Len-ee Len-uh-pee) who are the original

owners and custodians of the land on which we stand. We seek a new

relationship with the Original Peoples of this land, one based in honour

and deep respect.

SAFETALK SAFETALK is a half-day alertness training that prepares anyone over the age of 15, regardless of prior experience or training, to become a suicide-alert helper. Most people with thoughts of suicide do not truly want to die, but are struggling with the pain in their lives. Through their words and actions, they invite help to stay alive. SAFETALK-trained helpers can recognize these invitations and take action by connecting them with life-saving intervention resources, such as caregivers trained in ASIST. Register online at www.cmhamiddlesex.ca/learn.

Please check back regularly on our website www.cmhamiddlesex.ca regarding upcoming public education workshops. If you have any questions regarding our workshops, please contact Denise at 519-432-1607 ext. 6422.

Reiki is an ancient Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is based on the idea that an unseen “Life force energy” flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one’s “Life force energy” is low, then they are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy. (Continue to next page)
