Recovering from mental illness Free workshops are being offered in Steinbach to help people move through the recovery process from mental illness. This program is for all people who have had experience with mental illness, regardless of their diagnosis or their stage of recovery. Up to 90 percent of Canadians living with serious mental illness are unemployed. Experts say employers are reluctant to hire people with mental illness, in many cases due to the stigma associated with it. The five week series will focus on tools to assist in recovery from depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and other mental health problems. The first session will be Monday, Nov. 18 at the Eden East building, 21 Loewen Boulevard in Steinbach. It will run from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. To register, contact Ann at 204-392-5670 or Kim at 204-371-0824. -J.
