Reading & Mental Health with Morrin Centre – Mental Health Week
May 8 @ 12:00 PM – 4:00 PM

Through fiction, you can escape into a world that isn’t your life, but can help you to deal with it.”

            -Matt Haig, author

“We lose ourselves in what we read, only to return to ourselves, transformed and part of a more expansive world.”

            –Judith Butler, author and theorist

Did you know that reading is good for your mental health as well as for your interpersonal relationships? For instance, psychologists from the New School for Social Research noted in 2013 that reading literature improved one’s ability to register and read other people’s emotions.

The Morrin Centre welcomes visitors during its regular library hours to explore book displays on mental health (free for members; $5 for non-members). Current Library hours are: Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Sunday, noon to 4 p.m., and Saturday 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.   They are located at 44 Chaussée des Écossais, Québec, QC G1R 4H3.

Mindfulness – Mental Health Week
May 9 @ 7:00 PM – 8:30 PM

Mindfulness is the art and practice of of being fully aware of what’s happening in the moment – emotionally, cognitively, in any way!  It involves nourishing the capacity to be conscious of what you’re doing and of what is happening around you, as well as inside you, with open curiosity, kindness and an attitude of non-judgement.  Mindfulness can be particularly helpful during stressful times because it can help us step back from our stormy minds, procide a calmer perspective, and reveal healthier choices available to use.  It can also help when we need to focus on a difficult or complicated task by reducing the ‘chatter’ of our internal monologue.  While it may come naturally to some, mindfulness takes practice to master.

Join professional psychologist Dr. Meagan Daley in-person at the Wellness Centre at Jeffery Hale for a 1.5-hour session in Mindfulness.

Register here.

            –Judith Butler, author and theorist

Did you know that reading is good for your mental health as well as for your interpersonal relationships? For instance, psychologists from the New School for Social Research noted in 2013 that reading literature improved one’s ability to register and read other people’s emotions.

The Morrin Centre welcomes visitors during its regular library hours to explore book displays on mental health (free for members; $5 for non-members). Current Library hours are: Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Sunday, noon to 4 p.m., and Saturday 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.   They are located at 44 Chaussée des Écossais, Québec, QC G1R 4H3. Please visit their website to learn more about the Morrin Centre.

Photography and Creative Writing for Youth
Jul 16 @ 2:00 PM – 3:30 PM

If you’re aged between 14-16 years old, join us at the Wellness Centre at Jeffery Hale for five weeks this summer for fun workshops focusing on photography and creative writing in collaboration with LOVE (Québec).

Develop new photography skills during the photography workshops!  LOVE will bring semi-professional cameras and teach participants how to use them through various kinds of photography (portraiture, close up, black and white, etc.).

The creative writing and group discussion workshops will highlight various social topics such as diversity and inclusion, social standards and media safety (to name a few!) with the intention of reflecting on how these social aspects affect the participants, and their peers, on a daily basis.

There will also be time for sharing personal stories and developing active listening skills during these workshops.

Registration required.  Participants are requested to attend all five sessions.

Register here.

Questions?

For more information about these Photography and Creative Writing for Youth workshops, please contact Verity, Youth Program Coordinator, by email or phone at 418-684-5333, ext. 11932.


LOVE (Québec) is a non-profit organization that supports youth to thrive through programs and healthy relationships that build emotional intelligence and help overcome the challenges they face.  Participants emerge from LOVE’s programs with greater resilience, heightened skills, and the confidence to be inspirational leaders.
