Happenings in the Miramichi area
Care-Giver Support Group is an informal Group available to the families and primary caregivers of those affected with a long-term mental illness. J. Dean McAllister Memorial Bursary is awarded annually to a high school graduate pursuing a career in one of the Social Sciences. Applications must be received on or before May 27th. ACHIEVES Employment Skills is a valuable tool in teaching employment skills to those recovering from a mental illness/addiction. Our mission is to provide support and training in the participant's journey to gaining meaningful employment and achieving self-sufficiency. Walk of Hope is a major fundraiser that takes place annually in May. Volunteers and members collect pledges and walk from Walmart to Seamen's Hospital where participants can enjoy a light lunch, great door prizes and grand prize winnings. Awareness Days, held annually, usually in September as it is known as Recovery Month, allows the community to see and hear what it is that the Schizophrenia Society in Miramichi is all about. |
