Pinwheel Education Series:
Teen Substance Use Trends & Related Mental Health Conditions
Date & me: Thursday – November 15, 2012 - 12-1pm (PDT)
Upcoming topics:
Pinwheel Education Series: Helping Your Child/Youth Sleep Better— December 6
Announcements:
The Kelty Mental Health Resource Centre
is excited to announce the new Dealing
with Depression online resource
(dwdonline.ca) for teens experiencing low
mood or depression. The site, optimized
for the mobile experience, provides useful
and on-the-go strategies to help teens
understand their moods and learn
effective skills to help them feel better. It
can be used by itself or with guidance
from a parent, professional or other
concerned adult.
Depression is an extreme low mood that lasts a long time and makes a person feel sad, irritable or empty. Often
young people don't seek help because they don't know where to go or they think the symptoms will eventually go
away. If your teen suffers from symptoms of low mood or depression they may have less energy, feel like nothing
matters, see themselves in a negative way or feel like life will never get easier. Their depressive thoughts may
hide their ability to see that they can overcome depression and there are resources that can help.
The new dwdonline.ca provides information about depression and helps teens build skills to overcome their
mood issues. The resource provides a hands-on, interactive way to engage teens in learning and practicing
realistic thinking, problem solving, and goal setting to manage their depressive thoughts.
The DWD online resource is based on and complementary to Dealing with Depression: Antidepressant Skills for
Teens (Bilsker, Gilbert, Worling & Garland, 2005). This self-care guide is available in French and English, in
print or as a PDF: www.carmha.ca

Maintaining Balance in Your Life While Caregiving
Family Caregiving: Sprint or Marathon?
Each caregiving situa on is unique to the people and
circumstances involved. For some it is a short-term sprint,
while for others it is a marathon with a seemingly invisible
finish line. Pacing yourself appropriately is essen al so you
can “go the distance”, whatever that may turn out to be
for you. Different caregiving skills are needed for acute
situa ons than those needed for managing long-term or
chronic condi ons. Learn how to dis nguish what skills
are needed when and how to maintain your resilience
throughout your journey.
Host: Allison Reeves, Registered Clinical Counsellor
November 7, 2012, 10:00 am - 11:00 am
This tele-workshop is offered solely over the telephone
using the Care-Ring Voice Network.
Being a Mind Reader Can Be Exhaus ng
ODen family caregivers find themselves thrown into
situa ons in which they have had no previous experience
and don’t have the knowledge or skills needed. They can
also think they are solely responsible for figuring out what
needs to be done or what the person they are caring for
needs, wants or feels. Trying to read your care recipient’s
mind, making assump ons and second-guessing can be
exhaus ng and overwhelming. But you are not in this
situa on alone. The role of the family caregiver is to help
support the person needing care in living their life as they
want to based on their current circumstances. In this teleworkshop we will focus on how to work together as a
team with the person you are caring for and how to
become a kinder, more respecUul caregiver.

Well on the Way
It is essen al for family caregivers to find a way to balance
the demands of caring for another and taking care of their
own physical, mental and emo onal heath. It is hard to
predict when caregiving might become part of your life
and when the me comes the addi onal responsibili es
oDen get squeezed into an already busy life packed with
the day-to-day responsibili es of children, spouse, work,
and daily life. Many caregivers take on this new role
without le0ng go of anything else and end up exhausted
and burnt out. In this webinar we will explore the key
challenges experienced by family caregivers and iden fy
strategies for suppor ng yourself, while suppor ng
another.

The Coats for All program collects good, used
winter outer clothing and makes it available to
people who would have real difficulty in
paying for the clothes they need to deal
with the Cariboo winter. Clothing is
distributed through the Food Bank,
Loaves and Fishes, the South Cariboo
Health Centre, the Youth Zone, the
Cariboo Family Enrichment Centre,
Canadian Mental Health, and
Canim Lake and Canoe Creek
Indian bands. Clothing is also
available in the entry hall that
serves the Ministry of Children
and Family Development
and the Ministry of Social
Development Employment
and Income Assistance.
November/December 2012
COATS
FOR
ALL
Schools and community centres
can also request clothing from
the program if they are aware
of an unmet need.
Coats for All collects
coats, jackets,
padded vests and
pants, snowsuits,
thick sweaters, toques,
gloves and scarves.
We need these items for
men, women and children.
Because none of the
agencies who distribute
clothes have much space,
we cannot accept and
give out ordinary indoor
clothing.
Andrew Hoffmarks of 100 Mile Laundromat very generously donates his time and the use of his machines to
wash clothing, but it is a great help if donors can wash items at home and label them “washed”. If this is not
possible, please label as "needs washing." Donated items whether washed or not should be taken to the 100 Mile
Laundromat in Owen Square, cross from the Library. They will be accepted from Monday, Oct. 29 to Friday, Nov.
30. Distribution will begin on November 1st. Some sites will close distribution at the end of November and others
will continue to offer a few items throughout the winter. Coats for All is coordinated by volunteers from St.
Timothy's Anglican Church and is sponsored by the Free Press, radio station CKBX, and St. Timothy's.

12 Hours that can change your life!
Feel happier, sleep better, have more energy, gain
confidence, fully enjoy friendships/relationships!don’t
worry, be happy!
That's the gist of what will be taught in a new course being offered by the Canadian Mental Health Association
in 100 Mile House and Williams Lake. This eight-week Living Life to the Full program will show people how to
deal with negative thoughts that can lead to stress, anxiety and depression. This new course offers tools for
people to manage their own mental health!
Using eight easy-to-read booklets with titles like, The Things You Do That Mess You Up, and 10 Things You
Can Do To Feel Happier Straight Away, the idea is to help anyone of any age with the most common struggles.
Developed by a psychiatrist in the U.K., the course is based on 5 areas Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT)
model, which is a goal-based psychotherapy that addresses the way thoughts can affect feelings and
behaviour. So far, the course has proven its worth.
Anyone is welcome to sign up for the course, and they do not need to have a referral or a pre-existing mental
health concern. Living Life to the Full is an education program, not group therapy.
CMHA BC branches around the province have delivered 29 courses to more than 380 people during a pilot
program from April 2010 through March 2011. Of the 228 people who completed the evaluation, 85 per cent
said the course was either useful or very useful and 91 per cent said they would recommend the course to their
family and friends. The course has inspired people to declutter their house, get back into activities they
previously enjoyed such as gardening, walking, biking, and a chance to share tips and tools in a safe
environment. Participants have said “we have new simple tools to tackle problems and improve our mood”.
Cost per person is $185. The course fee includes cost of all course booklets and worksheets.
It's geared for everybody. Everybody has things they'd like to improve, and everybody can think negatively at
times, right? LLTTF program can help.
For more information about Living Life to the Full, go to www.llttf.ca , contact Gisele at Canadian Mental
Health Association at [email protected] or call 250-395-1251.
The South Cariboo branch of the CMHA is a charity that
promotes the mental health of all through community-based
programs and services, public education, advocacy and
research. It is part of a network of more than 10,000 CMHA
volunteers and staff in over 135 communities across Canada.
For more information see the website www.southcariboo.cmha.bc.ca
Bounce Back is a free skill-building program for adults experiencing low mood or stress with or without

telephone-coaching to reinforce the application of cognitive-behavioral strategies for overcoming
difficulties such as inactivity, avoidance, worry, & unhelpful thinking. Bounce Back resources and
services are accessible via referrals by BC Family Physicians, offered throughout British Columbia by
