Fatso

HEY! My name is Jill Van Gyn and I'm the founder and CEO of Fatso. 10 years ago today I made the decision to enter recovery from drugs and alcohol. On August 14th, 2010, at 30 years old, sick, suicidal, and at a desperate rock bottom, I asked for help and that call was answered by my family and by those in the recovery community. I was one of the lucky ones. I was afforded some of the best rehab care in Canada and was received by a loving and steadfast group of fellow addicts. The only reason I am not dead, institutionalized, or in jail is because I was born with immense privilege. Our communities are suffering from a massive overdose crisis and rampant addiction. Addiction and recovery need to be normalized, regardless of background, upbringing, or circumstance. Those experiencing homelness, people who have been barred from mainstream privileges, and addicts who break the "law" in order to survive, feel dignity, or exercise power, deserve recovery, deserve compassion, and deserve a strong social response, like any other suffering in the grips of a life-threatening disease. We may not like the symptoms. They are often ugly and harmful. But I was an addict. I was ugly. I was harmful. I am only where I am today because I had access. Yes, I worked hard. I hated recovery for the first year and swore I would go out again. But I found hope and gratitude in the rooms of a 12 Step program. It's not for everyone - that's just where I found my lifeline. Once I got on my feet I offered help to other addicts because it was so freely given to me. Of all the wonderful things I’ve achieved in the past decade- an amazing spouse, a much longed for baby, a loving relationship with my family, a masters degree, a dream job, and rad sneakers- it is the self-acceptance and reconciliation with my past that I treasure the most. If you or someone you know could use help or you just need a chat DM me and we'll set up a call. I will tell you how I did it. Recovery is possible. #legalizedrugs #yesallofthem #harmreduction #recoveryispossible ... See more

Welcome To Centreton Men's Shed – Member of The Canadian Men's Sheds Association

Doug Mackie founded the first Canadian shed in 2011 in Winnipeg. Doug recognized that many men in his community had both time on their hands and a tendency to suffer from isolation, loneliness, and depression. This was especially true after they retired as many men tie big parts of their identities to their careers. Since starting MenSheds Manitoba, Doug has helped men come together, stay productive, and contribute to the community—all of which are keys to good overall health.

Additional short term counselling is also available, more details below.

The Rapid Response Programme provides immediate/crisis and short term support to men (16 plus) who are experiencing increased levels of stress, trauma, mental health challenges and are struggling due to COVID-19. We work on being inclusive agency and extend this invitation to all persons who identify as masculine.

These services are being offered free thanks to the Rapid Relief Fund (Victoria Foundation, Jawl Foundation and the Times Colonist).

Short term counselling:
After a drop in appointment people can choose to be referred to short- term counselling (maximum of 3 sessions). An appointment will be made during drop in and the short-term counsellor will contact the client with a zoom link for their appointment.

The short term counselling is available for those who do not currently have any other therapy/counselling support.

All sessions are confidential. Folks will need access to a phone or computer and a quiet space for phone/video sessions. We now offer in person sessions as long as you are not experiencing any symptoms of Covid-19.
