Mood Disorders Ottawa
ONCE AGAIN TWO EVENINGS A WEEK.
A safe, supportive place, surrounded by adults with a mood disorder who 'get it'. A peer support group, for adults 18+ with mood disorders. Please join us for a friendly, confidential discussion of mood disorder-related topics and personal issues.
While we are self-isolating and social distancing, MDO will be offering Virtual Peer Support Groups so we can support one another. These groups are hosted through the Zoom platform phone and/or video group chat and will include an MDO facilitator and other participating peers. Everyone is welcome, though we do encourage you to check out becoming a member of MDO. You can learn more about membership here.
We will have a maximum number of participants per virtual group AND will have more than one facilitator and virtual group per evening if needed.
WHEN
Every Tuesday & Thursday

You can sign up here. Participants will be sent instructions on how to join the conversation by email by 3PM the day of the group.

Held in the CMHA building at 311 McArthur Ave (bus route #14). Please use the side entrance and take the elevator to the basement. We ask that participants try their best to arrive before 7:15 pm to not disrupt the flow of the meetings. You do not need to be a member of MDO to attend these informal gatherings, however we hope you may choose to support MDO at some point. For more information, see our brochure.
After a certain time, the elevator remains at the lobby unless requested from other floors. If you arrive at/after this time, an MDO facilitator will intermittently check the lobby and bring those who are waiting to the peer support group.
