Hello NeitherHereNorThere and thx for the thx. I don't know how easy it is for you to get to Yonge and Eglinton or if you even live in T.O. I think that you mentioned it once, but I can't remember.
The MDAO is having an information session on G.A.M. (Gaining Autonomy with my Medication) on Oct 23 from 1.30-2.30. For those that are interested the MDAO will then run a group on Thursdays, Oct 30th to Dec 18th, from 1:30 pm to 4:00 pm.
This group takes a quality of life approach to psychiatric medication that gets away from the tired a
arguments of whether medications are “good” or “bad”, and focuses on what’s best for YOU. More info at
https://mooddisorders.ca/event/toronto-recovery-group-registration-required-gaining-autonomy-with-my-medication-gam-informa-1 You have to pre register for the info session.
As far as I know it's being offered for free and will be offered in 2015 in other locations around Ontario (hopefully) . I've seen the preview of this course and it looks pretty good. Unfortunately the distance is too far for me to go at this point.
I mentioned WRAP before as being a fairly good course. The MDAO is offering a free WRAP facilitator course (normally it's at least a $1300 course). Once completed and qualified the individual can then go out and offer WRAP training to others. One must have already completed the WRAP initial level course. Again it's in T.O. only, but next year they may offer it at a couple of centres outside of T.O.

Usually WRAP facilitators get some sort of Honourium/pay when they start to go out into the field and deliver the basic WRAP course(plus expenses) . I don't know yet what the MDAO has planned.
Take Care. paul m
