Our Seniors Tea & Tales is all about getting together for an afternoon tea or coffee and a light snack to share experiences and discuss a variety of topics about mental health, or simply to connect with other people in a similar age group!

This group has been meeting regularly for the past two years and is well-established. Members often bring home-baked goods to share, along with various items for our ‘Show & Tell’ segment. After initial introductions/check-in and a short break, the group does a five-minute guided meditation together. The ‘word of the week’, chosen the week before, is usually discussed and a new word is chosen. Lively discussions around group-guided topics often occur. Meetings usually wrap up with a positive affirmation or a quote containing words of wisdom. New members are always welcomed warmly!

Dive into the magic of Friday nights at MDAM – it’s Game Night!

Every Friday night, MDAM opens its doors at 6:00 pm at 100-4 Fort Street in Winnipeg for a good old-fashioned games night.

Game play kicks off at 6:00 pm, carrying the excitement through until 10:00 pm. Bring along a buddy or make some new friends as we gather to play an array of games – dice, cards, and board games galore!

But here’s the deal: At MDAM, we’re all about good vibes and creating a safe and enjoyable space for everyone. Unsportsmanlike conduct or a negative attitude won’t fly here. If such behavior is observed, we’ll kindly ask you to leave. So bring your best attitude, a zest for fun, and let’s create unforgettable moments together! Join us for a night of games, giggles, and good times!

Thank you to Across the Board, Victory Pints and Toad Hall Toys for their generous donation of board games. Big thank you also to our members who have donated games – Stephanie, Penny and Shawn.

Meeting Guidelines

To keep the online support group a comfortable, safe, and inviting place for all, we require participants to abide by the following guidelines. These are reviewed with the group at the beginning of each meeting.

The facilitator may sign you out of the meeting at any time if you are noticed to be breaking the following guidelines:

What is said in the meeting, stays in the meeting

What you hear should be kept confidential and this must be respected by all participants. Our Online Support Room is open to all, so please be aware.

Use “I” language

Share from your personal experience, say “this is what helped me” or “when I was faced with this problem, I …”

Its OK not to share

People do not need to actively participate; much can be gained by just listening. You also do not need to turn on your video/web cam to participate.

Make the group a safe place to share

Kindness and respect for others and their mental health is paramount.

One person speaks at a time

Each person should be allowed to speak at a time. Please listen to your facilitator.

No monopolizing

No one should monopolize the group time.
